Which of the following is NOT one of the steps in initiation of translation?
A) binding of tRNA carrying formyl methionine to the start codon and small ribosomal subunit
B) recognition and binding of mRNA by the small ribosomal subunit
C) binding of the large ribosomal subunit to the small ribosomal subunit
D) formation of a polypeptide bond

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formation of a polypeptide bond occurs during elongation, not initiation, of translation. The correct steps in initiation of translation are the binding of tRNA carrying formyl methionine to the start codon and small ribosomal subunit, recognition and binding of mRNA by the small ribosomal subunit, and binding of the large ribosomal subunit to the small ribosomal subunit.
