Translation

Question 0

The code is ambiguous

Answer 0

One code is specific to one amino acid

Question 1

What are the bases in the RNA template

Answer 1

A c g u

Question 2

The code is degenerate

Answer 2

There could be many codes for one amino acid

Question 3

Three steps of translation

Answer 3

Initiation
Elongation
Termination

Question 4

rnas involved

Answer 4

Mrna
Rrna
Trna

Question 5

Initiation

Answer 5

1. small ribosomal subunit comes in and binds to mRNA at 5’ end
   - —– in prok it binds at the shine dalgarno
2. Met-tRNA binds to the start codon by its anticodon at the P site
3. The large ribosomal subunit then binds

Question 6

A P and E site

Answer 6

A: aminoacyl site
P: peptidyl site
E: exit site

Question 7

Elongation

Answer 7

1. The second charged tRNA binds at the A site
   - –requires GTP hydrolysis
2. Peptide formation
3. Translocation A->P->E

Question 8

Termination

Answer 8

Release factor binds when the stop codon appears in the A site
