FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is translation in the context of molecular biology?
Back
Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using messenger RNA (mRNA) as a template, involving codon recognition, peptide bond formation, and translocation.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the role of the ribosome in translation?
Back
The ribosome is the site of translation where mRNA is decoded to synthesize proteins.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a codon?
Back
A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an anticodon?
Back
An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that is complementary to a codon in mRNA, allowing for the correct amino acid to be added during translation.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the start codon and its significance?
Back
The start codon is AUG, which signals the beginning of translation and codes for the amino acid methionine.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the P site in a ribosome?
Back
The P site (peptidyl site) in the ribosome holds the growing polypeptide chain during translation.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the A site in a ribosome?
Back
The A site (aminoacyl site) in the ribosome is where the incoming tRNA carrying an amino acid binds during translation.
