Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The translation is a biological process in which mRNA molecules decode to produce amino acids in a polypeptide chain. In simple words, it is the synthesis of protein from mRNA. It involves three steps initiation, elongation, and termination.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The purpose of the tRNA in the P site is to: hold the growing polypeptide chain and transfer it to the A site Initiate translation termination stabilize the single strands of DNA
Which of the following is NOT an event associated with translation termination?   A stop codon enters the A site on the ribosome. A Release Factor enters the A site A terminal amino acid is added to the polypeptide to signal the end of translation. Release Factor mediates the hydrolysis of the polypeptide from the tRNA at the P site. The polypeptide and tRNA are released and the ribosomal subunits are separated.
The initial step in the protein translation is described by: release of the initiation factors upon assembly of the initiation complex binding of mRNA to the smaller subunit of the ribosome delivery of an aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site of the ribosome formation of the aminoacyl-tRNA
