Termination of translation requires
A) a termination signal, RNA polymerase, and a release factor.
B) a release factor, initiator tRNA, and ribosomes.
C) initiation factors, the small subunit of the ribosome, and mRNA.
D) elongation factors and charged tRNAs.
E) a stop codon positioned at the A site of the ribosome, peptidyl transferase, and a release factor.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Termination of translation requires a stop codon to be positioned at the A site of the ribosome, which causes the release factor to bind to the ribosome. Peptidyl transferase then catalyzes the hydrolysis of the bond between the polypeptide chain and the tRNA in the P site, releasing the completed protein.
