Questions and Answers List

level questions: 8.5 Protein synthesis - translation

QuestionAnswer
Translation- In eukaryotes + prokaryotes, happens at ribosomes - Translating sequence of mRNA to a sequence of amino acids
2 Translation process (1)- A mRNA strand attaches to ribosome in the cytoplasm - tRNA molecules with amino acids attached bind to the start of the mRNA strand
2 Translation process (2)- tRNA complementary anticodon attaches to first codon on mRNA strand via base pairing
2 Translation process (3)- tRNA molecules move away from the ribosome leaving behind its amino acid - A peptide bond is formed between the two amino acids
2 Translation process (4)- Ribosome moves across by ONE codon - Process repeats until there is a STOP codon on the RNA strand
2 Translation process (5)- Polypeptide chain left behind - The primary structure folds to make a protein
