100

Prokaryotic translation requires none of this, presumably because protein synthesis in bacteria can start even as the mRNA is still being synthesized

What is helicase?

100

This encodes a single protein

What is mRNA?

100

The number of initiation factors

What is three in prokaryotic and nine in eukaryotic?

100

This is the Start Codon

What is AUG?

200

After this, the A-site tRNA that now holds the growing peptide chain moves to the P site, and the P-site tRNA that is now empty moves to the E site and is expelled from the ribosome

What is peptide bond formation?

200

The sequence lies 5’ to the AUG initiation codon and is the binding site for the 30S ribosomal subunit. 

What is the Shine–Dalgarno sequence?

200

The process of this one takes place on a continuous basis as both translation and transcription occur in the same location. The process of the second occurs as a discontinuous entity as the process of translation takes place in the cytoplasm and the other in the nucleus. 

What is Prokaryotic for one and Eukaryotic for the second?

200

The site on the ribosomes in which polypeptide chains grow

What is the P site?

300

This is the initiating amino acid in Prokaryotes

What is N-formyl-methionine?

300

This is the initiating amino acid in eukaryotes

what is methionine? 

300

The locations of occurrence on the S ribosome

What is the 70 S ribosome for prokaryotic and 80 S ribosome for eukaryotic?

300

The types of bonds that exist between amino acids

peptide bonds

400

this is how the ribosome would bind to tRNA if mRNA were not present in the elongation complex

What is nonspecifically and randomly?

400

The process in which a 40S ribosomal subunit attaches at the 5’ end of the mRNA and moves downstream (i.e. in a 5’ to 3’ direction) until it finds the AUG initiation codon is called

What is scanning?
400

One converted 20 amino acids to the system within a second and the other process only moves one amino acid in a second.

What is Prokaryotic for twenty and Eukaryotic for one?

400

The site on ribosomes which the next tRNA enters the ribosome

A site

500

After many ribosomes have completed translation, the mRNA goes through this process so the nucleotides can be reused in another transcription reaction.

What is degraded?

500

Transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm are separate events to allow for this to form

what is the mRNA secondary structure? 

500

This type of translation gets defined as the process through which the messenger RNA present within the DNA starts converting into proteins within the prokaryotic beings. On the other hand, this type of translation gets defined as the process through which the messenger RNA present within the DNA starts converting into proteins within the eukaryotic beings.

What is Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic translation?

500

mRNA finds a ribosome and binds to it; the start codon (AUG) codes for a tRNA carrying the amino acid methionine; this tRNA enters the ribosome at the P site and translation begins

What are the basics of the initiation of translation?
