Step 1
answer
mRNA binds to the small subunit of the ribosome
question
Step 2
answer
tRNA with anticodon complementary to the first codon to be translated on the mRNA binds to the ribosome
question
Step 3
answer
a second tRNA with an anticodon complementary to the second codon on the mRNA then binds
question
Step 4
answer
ribosome transfers the amino acid carried by the first tRNA to the amino acid on the second tRNA making a new peptide. makes a dipeptide because the second tRNA is now carrying a chain of two amino acids
question
Step 5
answer
ribosome moves along the mRNA so the first tRNA is released and the second tRNA becomes the first
question
Step 6
answer
another tRNA binds with an anticodon complementary to the next codon on the mRNA
question
Step 7
answer
ribosome transfers the chain of amino acids carried by the first tRNA to the amino acid on the second tRNA, making a new peptide bond
