When will the chain of amino acids stop growing?

The chain of amino acids, or polypeptide, stops growing when the ribosome encounters a stop codon during translation. Stop codons signal the termination of protein synthesis, prompting the release of the completed polypeptide chain. Additionally, factors like the availability of amino acids and the presence of specific regulatory signals can influence the overall process of protein synthesis.


What is added to the polypeptide strand?

Amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide strand during protein synthesis. Ribosomes facilitate the process by reading the mRNA and catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between the amino acids. This results in the elongation of the polypeptide chain until a stop codon is reached.


The step of translation in which amino acids are added one at a time to the growing polypeptide is?

The step of translation in which amino acids are added one at a time to the growing polypeptide is called elongation. During elongation, transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carrying amino acids enter the ribosome and add their amino acids to the growing chain in a sequence determined by the mRNA codons.


How many stop codons are there in genetic code?

In the genetic code, there are three stop codons: UAA, UAG, and UGA. These codons signal the termination of protein synthesis during translation, indicating that the ribosome should stop adding amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain. Each of these stop codons does not code for any amino acid, effectively marking the end of the protein-coding sequence.


Why must stop codons be present on DNA molecules?

stop codons signify the end of a polypeptide. They're like a period at the end of a sentance.

When does a polypeptide stop growing?

A polypeptide stops growing when the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA template. This triggers the release of the polypeptide chain, along with the ribosome and mRNA, from the protein synthesis machinery.

What happens to the growing of polypeptide?

It will either continue growing, or develop into a functional protein.


What regions of a ribosome holds the growing polypeptide?

The P site and the A site of the ribosome hold the growing polypeptide chain during translation. The P site is where the tRNA carrying the growing polypeptide is located, and the A site is where the new tRNA carrying the next amino acid in the sequence enters.


What places the amino acid on the growing polypeptide chains?

Ribo
