- 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.)
What else can I help you with?
Translation is to protein as transcription is to?
Translation is to protein as transcription is to RNA. Transcription is the process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA, while translation is the process by which proteins are synthesized from RNA.
Does DNA directly participate in translation?
Not directly. It is mRNA that participates directly in translation in place of DNA. This has the advantage of allowing one gene to be expressed (its protein produced) many times at once, since multiple mRNA strands can be created from the DNA, and then all translated (over and over again) at the same time.
Which nucleic acid molecules are involved in transcription but NOT translation in the synthesis of a particular polypeptide?
mRNA molecules are involved in transcription but not translation. mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis during translation.
How can you simplify the steps of DNA transcription and translation for better understanding?
To simplify the steps of DNA transcription and translation, think of transcription as copying a recipe (DNA) into a shopping list (mRNA), and translation as using the shopping list to make a dish (protein). This analogy can help make the process easier to understand.
Transcription and translation are the two processes necessary to change RNA to protein RNA to DNA DNA to RNA DNA to protein?
Transcription and translation are the two processes necessary to build a protein based upon genetic information within DNA. Transcription is the term used for the construction of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule based on the DNA template. Translation refers to the processes of building a protein based upon the mRNA template.
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
Translation is to protein as transcription is to?
Translation is to protein as transcription is to RNA. Transcription is the process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA, while translation is the process by which proteins are synthesized from RNA.

What are the end products of DNA replication and translation?
uhh i think polypeptides, i know they are for translation
Where does translation occur in a DNA virus?
It occurs when the DNA from the virus is injected into the host cell.
In the central theory of gene expression what is the process that uses mRNA and amino acids to make DNA 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.
What is the process of changing the genes in DNA into proteins?
Translation
