Question

From the following list, which is the first event in translation in eukaryotes? a. base pairing of activated methionine-tRNA to AUG of the messenger RNA b. covalent bonding between the first two amino acids c. the larger ribosomal subunit binds to smaller ribosomal subunits d. the small subunit of the ribosome recognizes and attaches to the mRNA e. elongation of the polypeptide

Answer 1

Answer: Hope it helps...

Explanation: Translation is a process by which mRNA is decoded to form proteins.

d) the small subunit of the ribosome recognizes and attaches to the mRNA

a) base pairing of activated methionine-tRNA to AUG of the messenger RNA c) the larger ribosomal subunit binds to smaller ribosomal subunits

b) covalent bonding between the first two amino acids

e) elongation of the polypeptide

Answer 2

The answer is: a. Base pairing of activated methionine-tRNA to AUG of the messenger RNA

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is the pairing of the methionine-tRNA base with the AUG of the messenger RNA. This is because the AUG start codon is the codon that begins the synthesis of proteins, where methionine is the first amino acid to be added, the following would be the elongation of said amino acid.
