- The small subunit of the ribosome binds to a site "upstream" (on the 5' side) of the start of the message.
- It proceeds downstream (5' -> 3') until it encounters the start codon AUG. (The region between the mRNA cap and the AUG is known as the 5'-untranslated region [5'-UTR].)
- Here it is joined by the large subunit and a special initiator tRNA.
- The initiator tRNA binds to the P site (shown in pink) on the ribosome.
- In eukaryotes, initiator tRNA carries methionine (Met). (Bacteria use a modified methionine designated fMet.)

∙ 13y agoThere are two steps to protein synthesis:
1. Transcription - DNA unwinds, mRNA is made on the DNA template, the mRNA leaves the nucleus (through the nuclear pores) and goes to the ribosomes.
2. Translation - The mRNA moves along the ribosome where the information in the mRNA (codons) give the instructions for the sequence of amino acids in the protein that is being made. Once the amino acid sequence (protein, or "polypeptide") is complete, it detaches from the ribosome.

∙ 12y agoTranslation occurs in the cytoplasm of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
It starts when a tRNA carrying a methionine attaches to a start codon.

Where in the cell does translation takes place?
In an area of DNA, so translation take place in a ribosome
Translation is to protein as transcription is to?
DNA strand
Which component is not directly involved in translation?
DNA
What is the translation for the DNA triplet GAG?
The DNA triplet "GAG" encodes for Glutamic Acid.
Summarize the process by which DNA is made in a protein?
The process by which DNA is made in a protein is called translation.
Where in the cell does translation takes place?
In an area of DNA, so translation take place in a ribosome
How is DNA translation controlled?
Translation of the mRNA code is controlled by enzymes. DNA is not directly translated into proteins.
How is DNA packaged into chromosome?
translation
What does not directly participate in translation ribosomes mrna trna DNA?
It's DNA
Translation is to protein as transcription is to?
DNA strand
Which component is not directly involved in translation?
DNA
What is the translation for the DNA triplet GAG?
The DNA triplet "GAG" encodes for Glutamic Acid.
Where does translation occur in a DNA virus?
It occurs when the DNA from the virus is injected into the host cell.
What are the end products of DNA replication and translation?
uhh i think polypeptides, i know they are for translation
Summarize the process by which DNA is made in a protein?
The process by which DNA is made in a protein is called translation.
How are DNA and DNA used to make proteins?
DNA & RNA are used in making proteins during transcription and translation reactions .
How do you go from DNA to Protein-?
DNA to proteinfirst you make mRNA from DNA in a process called transcription. next the mRNA in translated (translation) into proteins. look up those two terms and you'll have your answer.
