1
Q
- Initiation: mRNA travels to ribosome, attaches to it, and attracts _
A
tRNA molecules that correspond to the start codon
2
Q
tRNA looks like

3 pronged fork with ball (amino acid) on top
3
Q
- Elongation: another tRNA molecule brings amino acid that corresponds to _
A
Codons
4
Q
- Elongation: the two amino acids bind together and the first _ exits ribosome
A
tRNA
5
Q
tRNA molecule floats into cytoplasm after delivering _
A
Amino acid
6
Q
- Protein formed: after stop codon reached _ forms
A
Peptide chain
7
Q
As ribosome moves across mRNA strand, tRNA molecules attach to the _
A
mRNA in a specific order
8
Q
tRNA molecules attach to mRNA in a specific order determined by

A
Peptide chain
10
