Translation Flashcards
1
Q
translation
A
produces a polypeptide protein
2
Q
organelle involved
A
ribosome
3
Q
initiation codon
A
AUG from mRNA codon
4
Q
S cap
A
protects the transcript from being broken down
5
Q
tRNA
A
brings right amino acids to ribosome to help build proteins by matching mRNA codons,
6
Q
anticodon
A
pairs with the mRNA codon to ensure correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
7
Q
initiation
A
-Ribosome binds to mRNA at S cap
-The first tRNA (carrying AUG) pairs with the start codon using its anticodon
8
Q
elongation
A
- amino acids gets added to the protein chain.
- ribosome moves along mRNA reading its codons
-ribosome forms peptide bonds between amino acids.
9
Q
termination
A
-The ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA.
-polypeptide chain is released, The protein chain is released, and the process ends.
10
Q
end product of translation
A
polypeptide chain
