Translation is started when the initiator tRNA binds: A. To the promoter B. To the RNA polymerase C. To the start codon D. Release factor
Added by Christopher S.
Step 1
It involves the binding of a specific tRNA molecule to the mRNA codon, which brings the corresponding amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. The initiator tRNA is a special tRNA molecule that carries the amino acid methionine and recognizes the start codon Show more…
