What process ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain during translation?

A. Only the tRNA that can pair its anticodon to the codon sitting in the ribosome's P site can add its amino acid to the chain.
B. Since each amino acid has a different R group, they are all different shapes and the ribosome only lets the correct shaped amino acid join to the growing chain.
C. The mRNA sequence folds into a specific shape that directs the ribosome to find the correct amino acid to be added to the chain.
D. The ribosome adds amino acids at random to the growing chain, switching them out one by one until the correct shape is produced.

Final answer:

The process of adding the correct amino acid during translation is achieved through the base-pairing of tRNA anticodon with mRNA codon.


Explanation:

The process that ensures the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain during translation involves the base-pairing of the anticodon on a charged tRNA with the codon on the mRNA. This specific interaction brings the correct amino acids into the ribosome for addition to the growing protein chain.
