Question

which is not something that occurs in translation?
a codon and an anticodon pair.
a peptide bond is created.
a molecule of mrna is formed.
an amino acid is added to a polypeptide.

Explanation:

To determine which event does not occur in translation, we analyze each option:

• A codon and an anticodon pair: During translation, tRNA (with anticodon) pairs with mRNA (with codon) to bring amino acids, so this occurs.
• A peptide bond is created: Peptide bonds form between amino acids as they are added to the polypeptide chain in translation.
• A molecule of mRNA is formed: mRNA is synthesized during transcription (from DNA), not translation. Translation uses mRNA to build proteins.
• An amino acid is added to a polypeptide: Amino acids are added sequentially to the growing polypeptide chain in translation.

Answer:

C. A molecule of mRNA is formed
