After the initiation complex has formed, the larger ribosomal subunit binds _ molecule with the appropriate _:

Correct answer: C. tRNA, Anticodon

  • A. mRNA, Anticodon
  • B. mRNA, codon
  • C. tRNA, Anticodon
  • D. tRNA, codon

Explanation

After the formation of the initiation complex, the large ribosomal subunit binds the tRNA molecule with the appropriate anticodon. The protein called elongation factors assists in binding it to the exposed mRNA codon at the 'A' site. The ribosome, including the large subunit, interacts with the tRNA molecules to ensure proper base pairing between the mRNA codons and the tRNA anticodons, facilitating the translation process. The mRNA is positioned in the ribosome, and the tRNA molecules carry the anticodons that complement the mRNA codons.

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.
