Which of the following statements is true regarding the formylmethionine that serves as the first amino acid in bacterial protein synthesis? A an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that is specific for formylmethionine attaches formylmethionine to the tRNA B the formyl group is removed during protein synthesis leaving methionine as the first residue in all bacterial proteins C the formyl group donor is N¹0-formyl-tetrahydrofolate (D) the tRNA that carries formylmethionine is the same tRNA for methionine
