Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of bonds are forming during translation?
A
Peptide bonds
B
Hydrogen bonds
C
Acid bonds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During translation, peptide bonds are formed from the amino (N) to the carboxyl (C) terminus by removal of water (also referred to as dehydration or condensation) and catalyzed by RNA (referred to as a ribozyme) that forms part of the ribosome.

Detailed explanation-2: -A peptide bond is basically an amide-type of covalent chemical bond. This bond links two consecutive alpha-amino acids from C1 (carbon number one) of one alpha-amino acid and N2 (nitrogen number two) of another. This linkage is found along a peptide or protein chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translation is the process that takes the information passed from DNA as messenger RNA and turns it into a series of amino acids bound together with peptide bonds. It is essentially a translation from one code (nucleotide sequence) to another code (amino acid sequence).

Detailed explanation-4: -Peptide bonds are formed during the stage of translation.
