translation Flashcards
1
Q
what is RNA to protein termed?
A
translation
2
Q
where does translation occur?
A
cytoplasm
3
Q
3 phases of translation?
A
initiation, elongation, and termination
4
Q
initiation?
A
mRNA binds to small ribosomal subunit at start AUG, large ribosomal subunit binds, P site created
5
Q
elongation?
A
base pairing occurs with the next tRNA entering the A site. peptide bond is made. mRNA slides down one codon
6
Q
termination
A
stop code is reached. release factor binds, protein leaves, subunits break up
