BiologyMolecular Basis of InheritanceAIIMSAIIMS 2018 (26 May)
Options:
  • A $m$ RNA attaches itself to larger subunit of ribosome in the region of its cap for initiation.
  • B Aminoacyl $t$ RNA synthetase activates the amino acids by adding ATP that is later used in formation of peptide bond.
  • C During aminoacylation of $t \mathrm{RNA}$, the amino acid gets linked to 5' $-\mathrm{COOH}$ group of $t$ RNA through its $3^{\prime}-\mathrm{OH}$ group.
  • D During elongation of polypeptide chain, the aminoacyl $t$ RNA complex reaches at E-site and attaches to mRNA codon next to initiation codon.

The correct answer is: Aminoacyl $t$ RNA synthetase activates the amino acids by adding ATP that is later used in formation of peptide bond.
Aminoacyl $t$ RNA synthetase helps in combining amino acid to its particular $t R N A$ by adding ATP that is later used in formation of peptide bond.
