Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation in eukaryotic cells, which involves converting mRNA into a polypeptide chain. The main stages are initiation, elongation, and termination.
Initiation: This is the first step where the ribosome assembles around the target mRNA. The start codon (AUG) is recognized, and the first tRNA molecule binds to the mRNA.
Elongation: During this phase, amino acids are added one by one to the growing polypeptide chain. The ribosome moves along the mRNA, and tRNA molecules bring the appropriate amino acids.
Termination: This occurs when a stop codon is reached on the mRNA. The polypeptide chain is released, and the ribosome disassembles.
Recognize that transcription is not part of the translation process. Transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA, which occurs before translation.
