TRANSLATION

Question 1

What is translation?

Answer 1

Decoding of an mRNA to build a polypeptide

Question 2

What codon starts translation?

Answer 2

AUG

Question 3

What are the three steps of translation?

Answer 3

Initiation, elongation, termination

Question 4

What occurs during initiation?

Answer 4

Ribosome comes together with mRNA and tRNA to begin translation process

Question 5

What occurs during elongation?

Answer 5

tRNA brings amino acids to ribosome and form a chain

Question 6

What occurs during termination?

Answer 6

The polypeptide chain that is created is released into the cell

Question 7

What forms an initiation complex?

Answer 7

Ribosome, mRNA and tRNA

Question 8

What takes place at the initiation complex?

Answer 8

TRNA and ribosome attach to the 5’ end of an mRNA then reach a stop codon

Question 9

Where does the tRNA start off at?

Answer 9

Peptidyl site of the ribosome

Question 10

What happens once the tRNA is in the A site?

Answer 10

There is a formation of a peptide bond
