Which of the following occurs as a result of ribosomal translocation? a) The tRNA that was in the A site moves into the E site. b) The tRNA that was in the P site stays in the P site, while all other tRNAs translocate. c) The tRNA that was in the E site moves into the P site. d) The tRNA that was in the A site moves into the P site.

Step 1
Specifically, the tRNA in the A site, which carries the growing polypeptide chain, moves to the P site, while the tRNA in the P site moves to the E site and is eventually released. So, the correct answer is: Show more…

Which of the following occurs as the ribosome shifts down the mRNA by a distance of three nucleotides? The tRNA that was in the E site moves out of the ribosome. The tRNA that was in the P site moves to the A site. The tRNA that was in the E site moves moves into the A site. The tRNA that was in the A site moves into the P site. The tRNA that was in the E site moves into the P site

In which of the following ribosomal sites does the anticodon of a tRNA pair completely with the mRNA codon? the A site only the P site and the E site the P site only the A site, the P site, and the E site the A site and the P site

Suppose that you have the situation that the P site of the prokaryotic ribosome contains a tRNA to which is attached a peptidyl chain, and the A site contains a tRNA to which is attached an amino acid. What is the next step? A) translocation of the mRNA relative to the ribosome by one codon B) peptide bond synthesis C) dissociation of the tRNA in the P site to allow movement of the tRNA from the A site to the P site D) hydrolysis of the peptidyl chain from the tRNA
