• NO!

What does tRNA do?

• provides information from DNA to ribosomes

Initiation, the first step of translation begins when the start codon AUG enters which site of the ribosome?

• A (aminoacyl) site

• P (peptidyl) site

• E (exit) site

Elongation, the second step of translation begins when the start codon AUG enters which site of the ribosome?

• A (aminoacyl) site

• P (peptidyl) site

• E (exit) site
