Which of the following is the first event to take place in translation in eukaryotes?
A) base pairing of activated methionine-tRNA to AUG of the messenger RNA
B) binding of the larger ribosomal subunit to smaller ribosomal subunits
C) covalent bonding between the first two amino acids
D) the small subunit of the ribosome recognizes and attaches to the cap of mRNA
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The first event to take place in translation in eukaryotes would be the small subunit of the ribosome recognizes and attaches to the cap of mRNA. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
