Chapter 12, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The initiation of translation requires the binding of the complementary mRNA codon with the anticodon of the tRNA. Hence, tRNA serves as the translator of various codons into the amino acid. The amino acid synthesis begins with the binding of tRNA with mRNA at three sites. The elongation stage of translation is followed by the termination phase of the translation.
