TRANSLATION

What is the product in translation?

• mRNA

• DNA

• protein

• ribosome

What unique feature is found at the 3’-end of eukaryotic mRNA?

• Poly-G tail

• Poly-A tail

• Methylated cap

• Anticodon loop

During the translation process in eukaryotic cells, what is the first codon that typically initiates translation, and what amino acid does it correspond to?

• UGA - Serine

• AUG - Methionine

• UAA - Tyrosine

• GGG - Glycine

What does the “A site” stand for in the context of ribosome function during translation?

• Aminoacyl site

• Acceptor site

• Active site

• Anticodon site

What is the primary function of the release factor when it interacts with the ribosome upon encountering a stop codon?

• It facilitates the binding of a new tRNA to the ribosome.

• It terminates translation by releasing the newly synthesized polypeptide chain.

•  It signals the ribosome to pause and wait for a new start codon.

• It recruits additional amino acids to extend the polypeptide chain.
