The movement of ribosome to next code is controlled by:
Correct answer: B. Elongation factor
- A. Termination factor
- B. Elongation factor
- C. Initiation factor
- D. tRNA synthase
Explanation
The movement of the ribosome to the next codon on the mRNA during translation is primarily controlled by elongation factors. These factors help in the translocation step of protein synthesis, which involves moving the ribosome along the mRNA molecule to position the next codon in the A site, ready for the entry of the next aminoacyl-tRNA.

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.
