8.5 polypeptidesynthesis - translation Flashcards

Q
describe the process of translation.
A
1) mRNA attached to ribosomes (in rough ER)
2) start codon enters the P site & tRNA molecule with anticodon binds through complementary base pairing
3) tRNA molecule brings a specific amino acid
4) second tRNA molecule enters A site by complementary base pairing
5) first tRNA molecule released as the ribosome moves along mRNA to form the polypeptide until stop codon
