Ans. The order of events in protein synthesis (from first to last)-

I. DNA with specific gene unravels: DNA is unwound at the specific gene due to binding of transcription factors in promotor region of the gene. It is the initiation of transcription.

II. mRNA is synthesized: After initiation and promotor clearance, the process of transcription enters the elongation phase synthesizing the complete mRNA.

III. mRNA combines with ribosomes: A mature mRNA combines associates with ribosome- the site of protein synthesis. Binding of mRNA to ribosomes initiates translation.

IV. Amino acids are bonded together: mRNA codons are read on ribosomes and tRNA carries the specific amino acid to A-site of ribosome where peptide bond is formed between two amino acids. The process continues till whole mRNA is translated to produce a protein.

Determine whether each of the events involved in protein synthesis occurs in initiation, elongation, or termination. Initiation Elongation Termination Answer Bank The small and large ribosomal subunits combine to form an initiation complex. The tRNA, mRNA, and new protein are released. The small ribosomal subunit attaches to an mRNA molecule. The ribosome moves down the mRNA strand to the next codon. An initial tRNA molecule pairs with the AUG codon of the mRNA molecule. Amino acids are transferred from tRNA molecules to the growing peptide chain. The ribosome reaches...

In order for protein synthesis to begin, which of the following statements reflects the correct sequence of events? A) The 5' end of the mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunit, and the large subunit joins, creating the P and A sites where reactions between codons on the mRNA and anticodons on tRNA are stabilized. B) The 3' end of the mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunit and the AUG anticodon on the tRNA base pairs with the UAC...

Transcription is the process of RNA synthesis. Translation is the cytoplasmic process of protein synthesis. Both processes can be divided into three stages, Initiation, Elongation, and Termination. For each of the events listed below write which process it occurs in (either transcription or translation) and in which stage the event occurs (initiation, elongation, termination). Release factor binds to the stop codon in the amino acyl site and cuts away the protein from the transfer RNA. Transfer RNA anticodons bind to the messenger...
