Question

Which of the following accurately describes the process of translation? A. The process continues until a ribosome reaches UAA, UAG, or UGA. B. Each codon calls for a specific nucleotide. C. Each tRNA molecule has a codon that matches an mRNA anticodon. D. The process continues until a ribosome reaches AUG.

Answer 1

A is the correct answer I just took the test

Answer 2

The correct answer would be A. The process continues until a ribosome reaches UAA, UAG, or UGA.

Translation is the process by which genetic code is expressed in the form of a polypeptide chain via mRNA.

The process starts with the assembly of ribosome around the start codon which is usually an AUG.

Amino acids are then added in a specific sequence according to the codon sequence of mRNA.

tRNA helps in deciphering the codon sequence of mRNA with the help of the anti-codon site present in its structure.

The process continues until a ribosome reaches stop codons which are UGA, UAA, and UAG.
