Translation occurs on ribosomes, which consist of two subunits - small and large.
There are three types of stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) that signal the end of translation.
The genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon can specify the same amino acid.
The small subunit binds to the mRNA molecule, while the large subunit is responsible for peptide bond formation between amino acids.
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are adaptors that bring specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
Each tRNA has an anticodon sequence complementary to one codon on the mRNA.
The genetic code is degenerate, meaning there can be multiple codons for one amino acid.
Codon reading frame refers to the positioning of nucleotides within a gene sequence.
Protein synthesis involves transcription and translation processes.
Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds to form polypeptides or proteins.
Amino acids are encoded by triplets called codons.
Aminoacyl-tRNAs carry specific amino acids and have anticodons complementary to their corresponding codons.
Transcription produces an RNA copy of DNA called messenger RNA (mRNA).
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases attach the correct amino acid to the appropriate tRNA based on their anticodon sequences.
Each tRNA has an anticodon that matches with its corresponding codon on the mRNA strand.
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases attach the correct amino acid to its corresponding tRNA.
Each tRNA has an anticodon sequence complementary to its corresponding codon on the mRNA.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids from the cytoplasm into the ribosome during protein synthesis.
During translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and matches it with the appropriate tRNA carrying the corresponding amino acid.
During translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and matches it with the appropriate tRNA carrying the corresponding amino acid.
Translation is the process where ribosomes read the genetic code on mRNAandassemble amino acids into a protein.
Some organisms use non-standard codons for certain amino acids.
Translation occurs on ribosomes with two subunits (small and large) that bind tRNA molecules carrying amino acids.
Peptidyl transferase catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between two adjacent amino acids.

Translation occurs on ribosomes with two subunits (small and large) that bind tRNA molecules carrying amino acids.
Peptidyl transferase catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between two adjacent amino acids.
Different organisms have slightly different versions of the genetic code due to mutations that occurred during evolution.
During elongation, the ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, adding amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
Translation occurs at ribosomes where transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to form polypeptide chains.
Translation occurs when the ribosome reads the mRNA codons and matches them with the appropriate tRNAs carrying their respective amino acids.
During elongation, the ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, adding amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
There are 20 different types of amino acids used in protein synthesis.
Translation occurs at ribosomes where transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to form polypeptide chains.
Translation occurs when the ribosome reads the mRNA codons and matches them with the appropriate tRNAs carrying their respective amino acids.
The ribosome reads the sequence of codons on the mRNA, bringing in the matching tRNAs carrying the corresponding amino acids.
Initiation phase of translation includes binding of mRNA to small subunit of ribosome, formation of initiation complex with initiator methionine-carrying tRNA, and scanning of mRNA until start codon AUG is found.
The ribosome reads the sequence of codons on the mRNA, bringing in the matching tRNAs carrying the corresponding amino acids.
