Question

What is true about translation? Choose ALL that apply.

Answer 1

In the process of translation, the statement stands correct and applies are as follows:

• The ribosome has two sub-units that work together.
• Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds.
• Each tRNA brings in exactly one amino acid that corresponds to the anti-codon.
• The order of the amino acids is determined by the mRNA which is transcribed from DNA.

Answer: Options A, B, C, and E

Explanation:

In the process of translation, ribosomes are the structural unit where the translation is being performed and it has the two sub-units which enact together the translational process.

Any two amino acids are bonded together by peptide bond and tRNA brings one amino acid at a time which corresponds to the anti codon. The order of amino acids is determined by mRNA transcribed from the DNA, and not from the ribosome. Thereby, all given options are correct except the option D.
