Question

What is the correct order of the stages of translation?

Answer 1

Hint: A cell receives information from a molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA) and uses it to produce a protein during the translation process. Translation occurs frequently in a normal bacterial cell, as it does in most of your body's cells, and it's essential for keeping you (and your bacterial "guests") alive.

Complete answer:
 The stages of translation should be completed in the following order: start, elongation, and termination. The aminoacylation or charging of tRNA is the initial step. The creation of a peptide bond occurs when two charged tRNAs are brought near enough together. The AUG codon is the start codon of mRNA, where the ribosome units bind. The polypeptide chain is lengthened according to the codon sequence in mRNA. One by one, the proper amino acid-tRNA complexes bind and are translated into a polypeptide chain.

When the ribosome reaches a stop codon, a release factor binds to the stop codon, signalling the end of translation and the release of the polypeptide. When you take certain antibiotics (for example, erythromycin), the antibiotic molecule binds to crucial translation molecules inside bacterial cells, thus "stalling" them. The bacteria will stop operating and finally die if they are unable to produce proteins. That's why, when an infection is treated with an antibiotic, it clears up.

To stay alive, cells require translation, and understanding how it works (so that antibiotics may be used to stop it) can help humans avoid bacterial infections. Let's take a deeper look at the process of translation, from the beginning to the end.

Decoding a messenger RNA (mRNA) and utilising its information to produce a polypeptide, or chain of amino acids, is the process of translation. A polypeptide is essentially a protein for most purposes (with the technical difference being that some large proteins are made up of several polypeptide chains).

Note: Messenger RNA (mRNA) transports genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm's ribosomes, where it serves as a template for protein production. mRNAs are translated, stored for further translation, or destroyed once they enter the cytoplasm. At some point, all mRNAs are destroyed at the same rate.
