Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The steps involved in elongation of the newly synthesized protein are (1) AA-tRNA binding, (2) peptide bond formation, (3) translocation, and (4) tRNA release. This sequence of events is also known as the elongation cycle. The correct order of the elongation cycle is A) AA-tRNA binding, peptide bond formation, translocation, tRNA release. Thus, option A is the best choice.
