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

Which site on the ribosome never occupies an uncharged tRNA during translation? - A site - P site - E site - all of the above Which part of the mRNA ensures that the start codon is positioned at the P site? - initiation factors - GTP Hydrolysis - The fmet-tRNA - The shine-delgarno sequence Immediately following peptide bond formation, which site on the ribosome occupies a charged tRNA? - A site - P site - E site - all of the above
