What happens when a stop codon is reached by a ribosome (in the A site)?
 a. A termination tRNAter binds to the codon and is used to release the growing peptide from the P site tRNA. The ribosome then dissociates.
  b. A termination tRNAter binds to the codon and the growing peptide is transferred to it. When the peptidyl-tRNAter reaches the P site, the ribosome is signaled to release the protein. The ribosome then dissociates.
  c. A termination protein binds to the codon and is used to release the growing peptide from the P site tRNA. The ribosome then is likely to dissociate.
  d. A termination protein binds to the codon and the ribosome dissociates. A separate peptidyl transferase then releases the protein from the last tRNA to which was attached.
