The major steps of translation are:

Translation takes place in the cytoplasm, where tRna,rRNA, and mRNA interact to assemble proteins. A specific amino acid is added to one end of each tRNA. The other end of the tRNA has an anticodon. A anticodon is a three-nucleotide seqence on tRNA that is complementary to an mRNA codon. The mRNA joins with a ribosome and tRNA. A tRNA molecule that has the correct anticodon and amino acid binds to the second codon on the mRNA. A peptide bond forms between the two amino acids, and the tRNA is realeased from the ribosome. The ribosome hen moves one codon down the MRNA. The amino acid chain continues to grow as each new amino acid binds to the chain and the pervious tRNA is released. This process is repeated until one of three stop codons is reached. A stop codon does not have anticodon, so protien production stops.

What are the two main stages in the synthesis of proteins and where does each occur?

The two main stages in the synthesis of proteins are transcription and translation. Transcription occurs inside the nucleus and translation will take place in the ribosomes within the cytoplasm.


What are the three codons that signal the termination of translation?

The three codons that signal the termination of translation are UAA, UAG, and UGA.


In both eukaryotes and prokaryotes gene experssion is primarliy regulated at the level of?

Gene expression can be controlled at any of several stages, which we divide broadly into transcription, processing and translation. Transcription often is controlled at the stage of initiation, or at termination but usually not controlled at elongation. In eukaryotic cells, processing of the RNA product may be regulated at the stages of modification, splicing, transport, or stability. Translation may be regulated, usually at the stages of initation and termination just like transcription. Gene expression can be controlled at any of several stages, as during transcription, processing and translation. Transcription often regulated at initiation and termination but elongation is usually not regulated. In eukaryotes cells, processing of the RNA product may be regulated at the stages of modification, splicing, transport, or at stability. Translation may be regulated at initiation and termination just like transcription.


Which are the three Eli ginzberg life stages?

The three life stages proposed by Eli Ginzberg are "learning," "working," and "leisure." These stages represent different phases in an individual's life where they focus on education and skill-building, engage in their career and work life, and then transition to a period of retirement or leisure activities.


How is translation in biology similar to language translation?

Information from the nucleotides is translated to information in amino acids through a process of translation. Three nucleotides together form what is called a 'codon'. Each codon (set of three nucleotides in sequence)codes for one amino acid. There are three codons that also code for the 'stop' signal that indicates where the translation should stop. There is also one 'start' codon that indicates where the translation should start.
