Question 47 options:

 

build in another amino acid into the growing polypeptide chain at the ribosome

 

build in the same amino acid (= cysteine) at the ribosome

 

most likely lead to a stop of protein translation at the ribosome

 

build in two amino acids into the growing polypeptide chain instead of one

 

prevent the release of the amino acid from the tRNA in the P-site of the ribosome
