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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Formation of a polypeptide bond occurs during elongation of translation, not during initiation. Initiation involves the binding of the small ribosomal subunit to the mRNA, the binding of the tRNA carrying formyl methionine to the start codon, and the subsequent binding of the large ribosomal subunit to form a complete ribosome.
