Which of the following is TRUE in translation?
A. Amino acyl TRNA containing one amino acid is attached to the P site
B. Amino acids/peptides attached to the amino acyl tRNA at the P site are
transferred to amino acids at the A site, followed by translocation.
C. Empty TRNAS are immediately released from the ribosomes
D. The E site is always empty after translocation to receive incoming empty
TRNAS.
E. The anticodon binding to the codon is stringent, i.e. there must be
complete complementary base-pairing between the bases in the codon and
anticodon before translation can proceed.
