Question

Regarding the assertion and reason, select the correct choice. Assertion $\left[A\right]$: The amino acid-bound tRNA enters the aminoacyl tRNA binding site.
Reason $\left[R\right]$: It transfers the amino acid at the peptidyl tRNA site.

• A. Both A and R are true and R explains A
• B. Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A
• C. A is true and R is false
• D. Both A and R are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A

The tRNA molecule carrying the amino acid enters the ribosome at the aminoacyl tRNA binding site (A site), and then transfers its amino acid to the peptidyl tRNA site (P site). A and R are individually true statements, though R is not the reason for A.
