A sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule

What helps prepare the ribosome for translation.

The process of adding amino acids to a growing protein chain

name the codon that initiates translation,

A messenger RNA molecule along with more than one attached ribosome and their growing peptide strands.

The ____________ is what signals that protein synthesis should begin.

These help move the ribosome relative to the mRNA so that translation occurs in the 5' to 3' direction

the directional end translation starts on

A large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression. (full name required)

After the large subunits of ribosome binds, this indicates that _______________.

Elongation proceeds when an aminoacyl tRNA binds to the codon in the a site by _______ between the anticodon and

Name the two pieces that surround the tRNA and moves along the mRNA

These transfer the amino acids from the RNA to a growing polypeptide; these are also known as “adapter” molecules because they hold the amino acids in place (full name required)

_____________ is the section of rRNA where the small ribosomal subunit binds to a complementary sequence on an mRNA.

This moves uncharged RNA into the E site; it moves the tRNA containing the growing polypeptide into the P site and it opens the A site and exposes a new mRNA codon.

Name the protein that stops the tRNA from moving along the mRNA

These complex structures catalyze the assembly of amino acids into protein chains; they also bind tRNA’s and various accessory molecules necessary for protein synthesis (full name required)

The second step in translation initiation is when the initiator _______ that bears N-formylmethionine binds to the start codon.

_________ formation is one of the most important reactions that take place in a cell because manufacturing _______ is among the most fundamental of all cell processes.

Name the first amino acid on the tRNA that starts at the start codon
