8.5 polypeptidesynthesis - translation

Question 1

describe the process of translation.

Answer 1

1) mRNA attached to ribosomes (in rough ER)
2) start codon enters the P site & tRNA molecule with anticodon binds through complementary base pairing
3) tRNA molecule brings a specific amino acid
4) second tRNA molecule enters A site by complementary base pairing
5) first tRNA molecule released as the ribosome moves along mRNA to form the polypeptide until stop codon
