alleryDuring translation, the activation of an amino acid and its linkage to its cognate tRNA is called:
APeptide bond formation
BAminoacylation (charging) of tRNA - requires ATP
CSpliceosome assembly
DCapping
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Aminoacylation (charging) of tRNA - requires ATP
**Aminoacylation** (or 'charging') of tRNA = aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase attaches the correct amino acid to the 3′-end of its specific tRNA. Requires ATP.
Charged tRNAs deliver amino acids to the ribosome.
