In picture a (look at picture) a tRNA is already bound to the initiator codon at the start of the mRNA strand. The anticodon sequence on this tRNA that complements the mRNA codon isA. CCCB. UACC. CAC # Translation Process in Protein Synthesis## Figure A: Initiation of TranslationThe diagram labeled “a” illustrates the initiation stage of protein synthesis inside a ribosome. It shows the following components:- **mRNA (messenger RNA):** A gray strand at the bottom labeled mRNA, representing the genetic code to be translated.- **Ribosome:** A large greenish structure that facilitates the translation process.- **tRNA (transfer RNA):** A blue structure, which transports specific amino acids. Here, it is shown carrying the amino acid methionine (met).- **Amino Acid (Methionine):** Represented as “met,” attached to the tRNA. This is the first amino acid in a new protein chain.- **tRNA Anticodon:** The sequence “UAC” on the tRNA, pairing with the start codon (AUG) on the mRNA to initiate translation.## Figure B: Elongation of the Polypeptide ChainThe diagram labeled “b” demonstrates the elongation phase of protein synthesis:- Two tRNA molecules are present within the ribosome: - The first tRNA carries methionine (met), aligned with the start codon. - A second tRNA delivers the next amino acid, valine (val), as indicated.- The tRNA aligns its anticodon with the corresponding codon on the mRNA sequence.- The ribosome moves along the mRNA, facilitating the formation of a peptide bond between methionine and valine, thus elongating the nascent polypeptide chain.These diagrams visually explain the translation process, highlighting the roles of mRNA, the ribosome, tRNA, and amino acids in synthesizing proteins.
