A site of ribosome where empty tRNAs will leave the ribosome is called:
Correct answer: B. Exit site
- A. Aminoacyl site
- B. Exit site
- C. Peptyidyl site
- D. A-site
Explanation
'E' site is the exit site where empty tRNAs will exit the chromosome. Option B is correct because the site of the ribosome where empty tRNAs (tRNAs that have already donated their amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain) leave the ribosome is called the Exit site (E site).

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
