Question

Which component of the complex described enters the exit tunnel through the large subunit of the ribosome?

A. Initiation and elongation factors
B. TRNA that no longer has attached amino acid
C. Newly formed polypeptide
D. TRNA with attached lysine (#1).
E. TRNA with polypeptide (#2).

Answer 1

The component that enters the exit tunnel through the large subunit of the ribosome is the TRNA with attached lysine (#1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The component of the complex that enters the exit tunnel through the large subunit of the ribosome is the TRNA with attached lysine (#1).

The ribosome translation process is a fundamental step in protein synthesis, during which the information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to assemble a corresponding polypeptide chain. Ribosomes, cellular structures composed of RNA and proteins, play a central role in this process. The translation process occurs in three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
