How many trna molecules bind to a ribosome at one time?

Ribosomes contain ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Two tRNAs can be attached to ribosomes in P-site (peptidyl site) and A-site (amino-acyl site) of a ribosome.

How many binding sites does a ribosome have?

3, the A P E sites(they stand for something but i for got exactly what except for E for exit) A for amino acids entering, P for the amino acids to join together and E for the transport things to E exit


What would happen if a eukaryotic ribosome had only one tRNA binding site instead of the P and A sites we see in today eukaryotic ribosomes and still needed to execute translation?

no translation occur bcoz the polypeptide chain formed at p site , a for attachment, p for polypeptide bond formation, e for exit site. so .......................................?


What will happen if the ribosome reads uaa uag or uga?

If you are asking this question to cheat at school shame on you. But I don't care I don't know you, I'm not your parent or teacher. It will read "STOP". actually, this answer is correct. When the ribosome reads uaa, uag, or uga, these sequences are known as stop codons. It will read stop. Also, no tRNA can bind to a stop codon... there are no tRNAs with anticodons complementary to the termination codons, so no tRNA enters the A site of the ribosome. Release factors are induced. RF1 to either UAA or UAG, RF2 to either UGA or UAA. RF3 forms a complex with GTP (energy source) and binds to the ribosome. These release factors promote cleave of the tRNA in the P site. GTP is hydrolyzed (reduced) to GDP. The tRNA is released from the P site, mRNA is released from the ribosome, and the ribosome leaves. -zdrum
