Ribosomes are the sites in the cell where protein synthesis takes place. In prokaryotes translation occurs in the cytoplasm and in eukaryotes, occurs mostly in the cytosol.
rRNA is responsible for reading the order of amino acids and linking the amino acids together.These are responsible for the translation of mRNA to proteins.
Steps of Translation:
Initiation begins when the mRNA, tRNA and the first amino acid all come together within the ribosome. tRNAs are the small non-coding RNA chains that transport amino acid to the ribosome. tRNAs have a site for amino acid attachment and a site called anti codon. True initiation point is the start codon, AUG which is the set of 3 nucleotides which begins the coded sequence of a gene. but mRNA strand remains continuous.The start codon specifies the amino acid Methionine which first enter into the ribosome by attaching to the tRNA that contains the right anticodon.
The anticodon for AUG is UAC according to complementary base pairing.
AUG-UAC
Hence mRNA is attached to tRNA attached to Methionine.
together the pieces form into Initiation complex which initiated to form a protein.
In prokaryotes, few enzymes involved in the translation process.
fMet-tRNA-synthetase attaches N-formal methionine to tRNA-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase-attaches amino acid to tRNA-peptidyl transferase.
The tRNA transfers an amino acid to the tRNA corresponding to the next codon. The ribosome then translocates to the next mRNA codon to elongate the process thereby forming an amino acid chain.
when a stop codon is reached, ribosome releases polypeptide. After the small and large ribosomal subunits separate from the mRNA, and from each other, each element goes for another round of translation and the cyclic process continues.

Translation uses ___ and ____ to synthesize ________ a) mRNA, DNA, amino acids b) mRNA, rRNA, polypeptide chains c) mRNA, tRNA, polypeptide chains d) rRNA, tRNA, amino acids Teacher says a is wrong
Please explain Why is a cap added to MRNA, but not to 1RNA or RRNA? Each of the three types of RNA are transcribed by different RNA polymerases. Only RNA polymerase II, involved in mRNA synthesis, contains a domain capable of interacting with enzymes that form the cap. Transcription and processing of MRNA occur in the nucleus, where cap binding proteins are found. These proteins, which add and modify the cap, are not found in the cytoplasm, where tRNA and...
Place the following steps of TRANSLATION in the correct order for EUKARYOTES. The ribosome reaches a stop codon. A release factor binds and causes the release of the new polypeptide, along with the mRNA. The ribosome dissociates. v Acharged tRNA with a matching anticodon binds the mRNA codon in the A site. ✓ The ribosome moves exactly 3 nucleotides toward the 3* end of the mRNA. The small ribosomal subunit uses rRNA to bind to the Kozak sequence, which places...

Multiple RNA molecules are important in translation: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. Which of the following is most likely to slow the production of a single protein in the cytoplasm? Downregulation of genes encoding tRNA components. An increase in the synthesis of the 80S ribosomal proteins important in ribosomal translational initiation. Recruitment of RBPs that promote RNAse degradation to the 3’UTR of the mRNA transcript. Mutations in mitochondrial tRNAs important in the synthesis of mitochondrial proteins.

The process of translation first initiates with two complexes that join together. In the first, the mRNA is bound to PABP , while the initiator tRNA is bound to small ribosome subunit . When the two complexes join, the small ribosome subunit binds the mRNA at the 5' cap and then scans the mRNA until finding the sequence CAU at which point it pauses and the initiator tRNA [Select] engages. Finally, the large ribosome subunit joins, enablinitiator ERNA PAP
Complete a concept map of translation, indicate where it takes place, and describe what will happen if the anticodon is not attached to transfer RNA. A)DNA unzips ?transcription of mRNA ? mRNA leaves nucleus ? mRNA binds to ?ribosome ? tRNA brings in amino acid? tRNA anticodon binds to codon on mRNA ? peptide bond binds amino acids to form protein ? transport of the amino acids to the mRNA by tRNA continues until the mRNA translation is completed.
