Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that translation is the process by which the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce a specific polypeptide or protein.
Recall the main steps of translation: Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.
Identify that Initiation involves the assembly of the ribosome on the mRNA and the start of polypeptide synthesis.
Recognize that Elongation is the step where amino acids are sequentially added to the growing polypeptide chain.
Know that Termination occurs when a stop codon is reached, signaling the release of the completed polypeptide and disassembly of the translation machinery, and that Replication is a separate process related to DNA duplication, not translation.
