Which one of the following would LEAST likely be used during the initiation phase of translation?
A)elongation factors
B)tRNA
C)small ribosomal subunits
D)initiation factors
E)mRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elongation factors are involved in the second stage of translation, called elongation, where the ribosome adds new amino acids to the polypeptide chain. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the mRNA with the help of initiation factors, followed by the binding of the initiator tRNA to the start codon. Therefore, tRNA, small ribosomal subunits, initiation factors, and mRNA are all necessary during the initiation phase of translation.
