Question

Which of the following is not true of translation termination?
A) Stop codons bind to special tRNA molecules
B) There are three possible stop codons
C) Release factor proteins free the polypeptide from the ribosome
D) Mutations in tRNA molecules can affect translation termination

Accepted Answer

Stop codons do not bind to special tRNA molecules. Instead, they bind to release factor proteins which then trigger the release of the polypeptide from the ribosome.
