Question
**Question:** Which of the following events would NOT result in ribosomes stalling on an mRNA during translation?

- The mRNA in a given region is very highly folded, and the ribosome stalls because the RNA structure blocks its movement.

- The correct tRNA is scarce because it is not transcribed very much in the prevailing conditions. The ribosome stalls while waiting for one of the scarce tRNAs to diffuse into the A site.

- The release factor enters the A site, decodes a stop codon and transfers an oxygen from water to the carboxyl group of the peptidyl-tRNA in the P site, causing stalling.

- Starvation for amino acids will reduce the amount of amino-acylated (charged) tRNA – the ribosome will stall while waiting for a charged tRNA to enter the A site to decode the next codon.
