Describe the steps in translation including the roles of ribosomes, tRNA, anticodons, amino acids, and mRNA?

Answer 1

Translation happens when the sequence of bases in mRNA is used to direct the assembly of a polypeptide or protein.

1. mRNA goes into the cytoplasm from the nucleus
2. Ribosomal subunits attach to the mRNA to begin the process.
3. The mRNA is "read" three base units at a time - codons.
4. The tRNA's anticodons try to match the codons. Each tRNA brings a specific amino acid to the protein building site.
5. The amino acids continue to be added in order until the ribosome reaches a stop codon, at which time the polypeptide detaches, folds up, and the protein is complete.

Answer 2

Initiation Elongation Termination Elongation is further divided into three parts: Codon Recognition, Peptide bond formation, and Translocation (gotta love those trans words!) Initiation is basically when the small ribosomal subunit, the mRNA, the first tRNA carrying the first anticodon, and the large ribosomal subunit come together. Elongation is when the tRNA is constantly bringing in new amino acids to add to the chain (and anticodons to bind to the codons). This keeps going until a stop codon is brought to the ribosome, which will signal the formation of a release factor, and that will release water on the amino acid chain, releasing it.

Answer 3

basically,
ribosome bind to mRNA. tRNA carry the anticodon to the complex. They produce amino acid
