Initiation involves binding of mRNA and initiator aminoacyl-tRNA to small subunit, followed by binding of large subunit.
Initiation codon in mRNA (AUG)
P site
The small ribosomal subunit binds to the mRNA The tRNA bearing methionine binds to the start codon , The large ribosomal subunit binds to the small one. The start codon signals the start of translation
It binds to a part of the tRNA which binds to methionine.
The first tRNA molecule is the anticodon. It contains the sequence UAC and drops off the amino acid methionine to begin the polypeptide chain.
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.)
It binds to the stop codon in the A site in place of a tRNA
An initiation complex for translation forms by the assembly of the ribosomal subunits and initiator tRNA (met-tRNA) at the start codon on the mRNA.
Initiation
The tRNA molecules are found mainly in the cytoplasm. When the translation begins, the tRNA moves to the ribosometo supply it with the anticodon and the amino acid.

tRNA binds to ribosomes within the cytoplasm where translation and protein synthesis occurs

tRNA (Transfer RNA) is responsible for carrying the amino acid to the ribosomes during translation. The tRNA anti-codon binds to the mRNA codon (3-base code) to ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the chain.
tRNA contains the anticodon
It binds to the stop codon in the A site in place of a tRNA
