During the ‘elongation’ stage of translation, after the arrival of each new tRNA:

A. the amino acid is ‘passed’ from the tRNA in the A site to the tRNA in the P site.

B. newly arriving tRNAs must first bind to the E-site.

C. the peptide is ‘passed’ from the tRNA in the P site to the tRNA in the A site.

D. the new tRNA must first bind to the P-site of the ribosome

Hi, i need help with this multiple choice question. An explaination along with the correct answer would be really helpful because I do not understand why the answer is supposed to be C. Thank you. My teacher said the correct answer is C. but i read online that "When amino acids are transferred from the aminoacyl tRNA in the A site to the growing protein chain attached to the P site,..." so wouldn't the answer be A? Thank you. PLEASE TELL ME WHY A) IS THE INCORRECT ANSWER

    6. All of the following statements about tRNAs are true EXCEPT: O A tRNA may use non-conventional base-pairing to bind to the codon. O A TRNA cannot fully enter the ribosome until it is released by the elongation factor. O A tRNA brings the correct amino acid for the corresponding codon in the mRNA during translation. O A tRNA catalyzes the formation of the peptide bond between amino acids.
