Which statement describes the correct order of events in translation elongation? 

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. The ternary complex binds to the A site, EF-Tu leaves, peptidyl transferase forms a peptide bond, EF-G hydrolyzes ATP to translocate the peptidyl tRNA to the P site, tRNA leaves the E site.

  2. The ternary complex binds to the P site, EF-Tu leaves, peptidyl transferase forms a peptide bond, EF-G hydrolyzes GTP to translocate the aminoacyltRNA to the A site, tRNA leaves the E site.

  3. The ternary complex binds to the A site, EF-G leaves, peptidyl transferase forms a peptide bond, EF-Tu hydrolyzes GTP to translocate the peptidyl tRNA to the P site, tRNA leaves the E site.

  4. The ternary complex binds to the A site, EF-Tu leaves, peptidyl transferase forms a peptide bond, EF-G hydrolyzes GTP to translocate the peptidyl tRNA to the P site, tRNA leaves the E site.
