Accuracy in the translation of mRNA into the primary structure of a polypeptide depends on specificity in the ________.
A) binding of ribosomes to mRNA
B) shape of the A and P sites of ribosomes
C) binding of the anticodon to a small subunit of the ribosome
D) attachment of amino acids to rRNAs
E) binding of the anticodon to the codon and the attachment of amino acids to tRNAs

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accuracy in translation is dependent on the specificity of binding between the anticodon of the tRNA and the codon on the mRNA, as well as the attachment of the correct amino acid to the tRNA. The other options are involved in the process of translation, but not specifically in ensuring accuracy.
