View Available Hint(s)for Part D

A peptide bond is formed between two adjacent amino acids.
The small subunit of the ribosome binds to the 5’ cap on the mRNA.
The large ribosomal subunit joins the complex.
An aminoacyl tRNA binds to the start codon.

View Available Hint(s)for Part F

The completed polypeptide is released from the ribosome.
The ribosome slides one codon down the mRNA.
The polypeptide chain grows by one amino acid.
The two ribosomal subunits are joined in a complex.
Part G
True or false. A tRNA with an anticodon complementary to the stop codon catalyzes the reaction by which translation is terminated.
