Question 1
1.

Order the following steps of translation.

  1. The anticodon on a tRNA carrying the amino acid met attaches to the start codon
  2. The ribosome binds to the mRNA starting at the cap end
  3. The mRNA, ribosome, tRNA, and polypeptide chain releases
  4. mRNA leaves the nucleus
  5. The ribosome moves down the mRNA until it reaches a start codon (AUG)

The ribosome moves down the mRNA to the next codon (the one right after the start codon) and a new tRNA attaches to that codon
The steps repeat until the ribosome reaches a stop codon
The ribosome makes a peptide bond attaching the two amino acids (the met from the start codon and the next amino acid)
Which of the following occurs in translation? Select all that apply
The ribosome initially attaches to the poly-A tail to start the process
The ribosome creates peptide bonds between amino acids
tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome
The ribosome creates hydrogen bonds between amino acids
The ribosome creates bonds between nucleotides
The ribosome attaches to the mRNA
The codons attach to anti-codons
