Question

Transcription is the process of RNA synthesis.  Translation is the cytoplasmic process of protein synthesis.  Both processes can be divided into three stages, Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.  For each of the events listed below write which process it occurs in (either transcription or translation) and in which stage the event occurs (initiation, elongation, termination).

e. The transfer RNA bringing the new amino acid to be incorporated binds in the amino acyl site.

            f. The terminator sequence in the messenger RNA is cleaved and the poly A tail is added.

            g. The small subunit of the ribosome recognizes and binds to the 5’ cap of the messenger RNA.

            h. Ribonucleotides are incorporated via complementary base pairing.

Answer 1

e. The transfer RNA bringing the new amino acid to be incorporated binds in the amino acyl site...... Translation-----> elongation.

f. The terminator sequence in the messenger RNA is cleaved and the poly A tail is added........

........... transcription --------> termination.

g. The small subunit of the ribosome recognizes and binds to the 5’ cap of the messenger RNA...........

................ Translation--------->Elongation

h. Ribonucleotides are incorporated via complementary base pairing.....

.. ........... Transcription -------->elongation.
