Where does the binding of tRNA to mRNA occur during the process of translation?
A
In the Golgi apparatus
B
In the endoplasmic reticulum
C
In the cytoplasm
D
In the nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.
Recall that translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, where ribosomes are located.
Recognize that tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome, where they bind to the mRNA sequence through complementary base pairing.
Identify that the ribosome facilitates the binding of tRNA to mRNA, allowing the amino acids to be added to the growing polypeptide chain.
Conclude that the binding of tRNA to mRNA during translation occurs in the cytoplasm, not in the Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, or nucleus.
