Which step occurs in the A site of the ribosome during translation?
- An uncharged tRNA is ejected from this site as the ribosome slides to the next codon.
- An incoming charged tRNA binds to this site.
- None of the other answer options is correct.
- The tRNA carrying the growing polypeptide moves to this site as the ribosome slides to the next codon.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. An incoming charged tRNA binds to this site.

Explanation:

This is part of a process called TRANSLATION, in which mRNA is translated into proteins by the ribosomes, it comprises 3 stages: Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.

The A site is part of the ribosome, which has 1 binding site for mRNA and 3 binding sites for tRNA: A: Aminoacyl or acceptor site; P: Peptidyl; E: Exit, and it´s involved in ELONGATION, where it binds to the Aminoacyl tRNA (charged tRNA), that has the aminoacid that´s going to be added.
