1
Q
Where does it take place
A
Cytoplasm at the ribosome
2
Q
What does it produce
A
polypeptides/new proteins
3
Q
How do amino acids get placed into the correct sequence
A
The tRNA molecules with complementary anticodon sequence
4
Q
What brings acids to the mRNA
A
tRNA molecules
5
Q
What bonds form between tRNA and amino acids
A
aminoacyl tRNA synthase
6
Q
How does the mRNA attach to the ribosome
A
methylguanine cap
7
Q
what is an anticodon
A
the sequence of three nucleotides forming genetic code to transfer RNA molecules
8
Q
What are the P-site and A-site
A
P-site - first bonding site
A-site - second codon site
