The site(s) on a ribosome where tRNA molecules may be located include a. the A site. c. the E site. b. the P site. d. all of the above.
Added by Andre W.
Step 1
The A site is where the incoming aminoacyl-tRNA binds. The P site is where the peptidyl-tRNA is located, and the growing polypeptide chain is transferred from the tRNA in the P site to the aminoacyl-tRNA in the A site. The E site is where the deacylated tRNA Show more…
