RNA Translation

Question 1

Goal of Translation

Answer 1

mRNA into protein

Question 2

Who is the worker for translation

Answer 2

Ribosome (2 subunits)

Question 3

What are the supplies for translation

Answer 3

mRNA tRNA and amino acids

Question 4

Characteristics of translation

Answer 4

Clear direction (mRNA template)
Focused, 5’ to 3’
Multitasks (3 sites: E, P, A)
Works in code with many partners, reading mRNA in triplets

Question 5

Each codon matches what

Answer 5

Different tRNA anticodon

Question 6

Small ribosome unit contains what

Answer 6

Codons

Question 7

Large ribosome unit contains what

Answer 7

Anticodons

Question 8

Covalent bonds are what type of bonds

Answer 8

Peptide

Question 9

The “A” of EPA is what

Answer 9

Incomg

Question 10

The “P” of EPA is what

Answer 10

Peptides grow

Question 11

The “E” of EPA is what

Answer 11

Exit

Question 12

What is the end product of translation

Answer 12

Protein

Question 13

Step 1 of translation

Answer 13

Initiation

Question 14

Step 2 translation

Answer 14

Elongation

Question 15

Step 3 translation

Answer 15

Termination

Question 16

2 ribosome sub units come together at start codon in mRNA

Answer 16

step 1 translation (initiation)

Question 17

Peptide chain forms and grows as the ribosome forms peptide bonds between incoming amino acids on tRNA

Answer 17

Step 2 translation (elongation)

Question 18

Ribosome reaches stop codon of mRNA; stops and falls off; protein is complete

Answer 18

Step 3 (termination)
