Answer 1

Translation involves the pairing of codons and anticodons to create a polypeptide chain until a stop codon is reached.

Step-by-step explanation:

In translation, several things occur, but a peptide bond is not created. Translation is the process by which the information in a molecule of mRNA is used to create a sequence of amino acids, forming a polypeptide or protein. During translation, a codon on the mRNA pairs with an anticodon on a transfer RNA molecule, resulting in the addition of the corresponding amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. This process continues until a stop codon is reached, signaling the end of translation.
