- Which of the following interactions in E. coli ensures that the start codon of an mRNA is accurately positioned in a ribosome at the initiation of translation? O binding between the mRNA Shine-Dalgarno sequence and ribosomal proteins base-pairing between the mRNA Shine-Dalgarno sequence and rRNA of the small ribosomal subunit O binding between ribosomal proteins and the initiation factor that base-pairs with the start codon O base-pairing between the mRNA Shine-Dalgarno sequence and rRNA of the large ribosomal subunitarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about translation is false? In eukaryotes, the 5' cap and the 3' poly(A) tail are involved in translation initiation. Peptidyl-transferase activity during translation is the property of a ribozyme. A base at the first position of an anticodon on the tRNA would pair with a base at the third position of the mRNA. The growing peptide chain is transferred from the tRNA in the P site to the tRNA in the A site. Ribosomes move along an mRNA in the 3’ → 5' direction.arrow_forwardThe 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-tRNAarrow_forward
- Using the following list of codons describe, using diagrams etc., how information stored in the DNA is translated into a peptide. Be sure to discuss all steps. In other words, use a diagram and give me sequences, transcription and translation steps. Show the sequences of the sense and the other DNA strand, the mRNA and the tRNA’s.

- The following diagram illustrates a step in the process of translation. Identify the following elements on the diagram. a. Stop codonarrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes a sequence of events that happens during the elongation phase of translation? Group of answer choices A charged tRNA enters the P site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the A site; an tRNA bound to a peptide exits the E site. None of these is an accurate description A charged tRNA enters the A site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the P site; an uncharged tRNA exits the E site. An uncharged tRNA enters the A site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the P site; a charged tRNA exits the E site. A charged tRNA enters the A site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the E site; an tRNA bound to a peptide exits the A site.arrow_forwardConsider this list (below) of steps involved in translation. These steps are out of order. TRANSLATION: 1. the small and large ribosomal sub-units unite2. two amino acids join together.3. another tRNA anti-codon bonds with another mRNA codon 4. an initial tRNA bearing a specific amino acid arrives at the ribosome 5. the process continues until a protein molecule is completed6. at the synthesis site, initial mRNA codons are insertedarrow_forward
- Choose the answer that has these events of the elongation phase of translation in the proper sequence: 1) A peptide bond forms between the new amino acid and a polypeptide chain. 2) An aminoacyl-tRNA binds to the A site. 3) tRNA leaves the E site. 4) tRNA with an attached polypeptide translocates to the P site.
