An initiator tRNA is loaded onto a small ribosomal subunit, which locates the start codon. What happens immediately following this event?

1.A new tRNA moves into the P site and the previous amino acid is transferred from its tRNA to the amino acid the new tRNA is carrying.
2.The anticodon of the initiator tRNA matches up with the mRNA start codon.
3.The new polypeptide chain is released from the ribosome.
4.The large ribosomal subunit joins to the small ribosomal subunit.
