Answer
  • Ribosome
  • Nuclear envelope

Question 9

Question
What is the first stage of translation?
Answer
  • mRNA binds to a tRNA, attached to the small subunit and is exposed to the large subunit.
  • mRNA binds to a ribosome, 3 codons are attached to the large subunit and are exposed to the small subunit.
  • mRNA binds to a ribosome, 2 codons attached to the small subunit and are exposed to the large subunit.
