because of the big penises all around it cumming on it. That's Why.

∙ 11y agothe ribosome knows when to being translation because the first codon will be the initiation codon, AUG, which codes for methionine. the ribosome cannot interpret anything before this codon.

What step happens in translation?
The ribosome reaches the start codon.
Why do you think a start codon is important?
The start codon is the point at which a DNA sequence starts. It is important because a ribosome begins translating a sequence of RNA into amino acids.
Which process stops when a ribosome reaches a stop codon?
When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.
Where does the lining up of a codon and anticodon take place?
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.

What contains information to produce a single polypeptide?
the gene and mRNA carries it but a ribosome and a tRNA can be used to make any polypeptide
What tells the ribosome to begin making a polypeptide?
Start codon
Which process stops when a ribosome reaches a stop codon?
When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.
What is the trna molecule that will be produced for a t t c g a c c t a c g?
The anticodon of a tRNA molecule has only three nitrogen bases. The anticodon is complementary to a codon of mRNA at the ribosome. The tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid from the cytoplasm to its complementary mRNA codon, where it will be incorporated into the new protein being made.
Where does the lining up of a codon and anticodon take place?
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
What functions are carried out by those few codons tat do not code for amino acid?
They(UAA, UAG, & UGA stop codons) cause the ribosome to stop translating an mRNA
What is meant by translocation?
The ribosome slides one codon down the mRNA.
What causes translation to stop?
The end of translation occurs when the ribosome reaches one or more STOP codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) on the mRNA. At the ribosomal level, there is a competition between tRNAs and release factors. When a stop codon is reached, a release factor inserts into the A-pocket of the ribosome (keep in mind that a tRNA molecule cannot recognize a stop codon). Once the release factor is recognized by the ribosome, the polypeptide chain is signaled to release.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.
What are the differences between codon anticodon?
Codons are three bases on mRNA which go to the ribosome which translates into amino acids. The amino acids are attached to tRNA which has the anticodon on it which will bind to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the ribosome picks out the correct amino acid. the tRNA with the anti codon just binds to the codon and the amino acids start binding together via peptide bonds.
