  1. During translation initiation in prokaryotes, a GTP molecule is needed in
    1. association of 50 S subunit of ribosome with initiation complex
    2. formation of formyl-met-tRNA
    3. binding of 30 S subunit of ribosome with mRNA
    4. association of 30 S-mRNA with formylmet-tRNA
Correct Option: D

For the formation of initiation complex during translation of mRNA, GTP is also required. The initiator AUG codes for the formylmethionine in prokaryotes.
