Which of the Following Statements Does NOT Describe the Events

Question 45

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements does NOT describe the events in prokaryotic translation elongation?


A) The nucleotides in the Shine-Dalgarno sequence of the mRNA pair with their complementary nucleotides in the 16S rRNA.
B) A ribosome with a growing peptide attached to a tRNA in the P site accepts a charged tRNA with the next amino acid into the A site. The charged tRNA enters as a complex with EF-Tu and GTP.
C) If the anticodon of the charged tRNA matches the codon, GTP is cleaved and EF-Tu exits and is regenerated to EF-Tu-GTP by EF-Ts.
D) A peptide bond is formed by the peptidyl transferase activity of the large subunit rRNA. The polypeptide chain on the tRNA in the P site is transferred to the amino acid on the tRNA in the A site.
E) The ribosome translocates toward the 3' end of the mRNA with the aid of EF-G and GTP hydrolysis. The empty tRNA that was in the P site moves to the E site and exits. The tRNA with the polypeptide that was in the A site moves to the P site.
