The wrong tRNA is added to the protein chain.
D.
Translation stops and the protein remains bound to the ribosome.
Which of the following describes the interactions between a codon and an anticodon?
A. A codon and an anticodon become covalently bonded together due to the activity of the ribosome.
B. A codon and anticodon do not come into direct contact because codons are in the nucleus but anticodons are in the cytoplasm.
C. A codon and anticodon are attracted to each other due to hydrogen bonding.
