Q
Describe how a polypeptide is formed by translation of mRNA (6)
A
mRNA attaches to ribosomes and tRNA anticodons bind to complementary mRNA codons
tRNA brings a specific amino acid
Amino acids join by peptide bonds
Amino acids join together with the use of ATP
tRNA released after amino acid joined to polypeptide
The ribosome moves along the mRNA to form the polypeptide
