Question

Steps of Translation

Using the following word bank: anticodons, codons, mRNA, RNA; fill in the steps of translation.
The ribosome binds to a strand of _____
This nucleic acid has
three-nucleotide codes called ______
The three-letter codes are complementary
to ________
on ________
molecules. Each of these
molecules brings with it an amino acid, which will become part of the growing polypeptide.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - mRNA, codons, anticodons, RNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the translation process of protein synthesis, the mRNA strand is attached with the ribosome in order to translate the three-letter nucleotide sequence that is called codons or triplet code into specific amino acids.

These three-letter codes are complementary to the anticodons on the RNA (tRNA) molecules. These nucleic acid molecules with ribosomes bring with them an amino acid to make a polypeptide chain.
