3. The process of translation involves three distinct phases: initiation, elongation, and termination. Which of the following is an accurate statement of a molecular event that occurs during one of the phases?

a) All phases of translation require the energy of ATP to fuel molecular processes.

b) The first components to assemble in initiation are the large ribosomal subunit, mRNA, and the initiator tRNA molecule.

c) A peptide bond forms between the new amino acid and the amino acid at the C-terminus of the growing polypeptide chain.

d) Amino acids are added to the polypeptide chain that sits in the A site of the translation initiation complex.

b) The first components to assemble in initiation are the large ribosomal subunit, mRNA, and the initiator tRNA molecule.
