Questions and Answers

What is the first step in translation elongation?

  • A new peptide bond is formed between the growing chain and the new amino acid.
  • AA-tRNA binds to an empty A site. (correct)
  • The large subunit translocates.
  • The small subunit translocates by 3 nucleotides.
  • What is the role of translation elongation factors?

  • They initiate translation.
  • They terminate translation.
  • They improve the efficiency and accuracy of translation. (correct)
  • They form new peptide bonds.
  • What happens when there is a tight (correct) codon/anticodon pairing?

  • It hydrolyzes GTP by EF-Tu.
  • It triggers a conformational change in the ribosome. (correct)
  • It forms a new peptide bond.
  • It releases the AA-tRNA.
