|
|
Translation begins at a certain codon on mRNA called a ___ codon (AUG) and ends with one of three ____ codons (UAG UAA UGA)
|
Start
Stop |
|
The translation prosses step one:___ moves through the ___ tRNA comes into the ribosme with an _____ on one end an amino acid on the other and pairs with the start codon (AUG) on mRNA
|
mRNA
ribosome amino acid |
|
the translation prosses step two:A secont tRNA comes in with its amino acid. The ribosome forms a ___bond between the 2 amino acids to begin forming a ____. once each tRNA has "dropped off" its amino acid it is released into the ___ to pick up another amino acid
|
peptide
protein cytoplasm |
|
___ molecules continue to come into the ribosome, bind with mRNA and leave ___ ___ that are bonded together to make a growing protein until they reach a ___ codon. when a stop codon has been reached the protein and mRNA will be released from the rinosome and translation is complete
|
tRNA
amino acids stop |
