Chapter 16 review sheet translation 1 What is meant when it is said that in prokaryotes transcription and translation are tightly coupled 2 mRNA and tRNA make up the translation machinery 3 Translation always begins with an tRNA binding to the codon of the mRNA 4 Each amino acid is coded for by nucleotides called a 5 Describe the steps of translation initiation 6 40 tRNA are able to code for 64 codons through a process called the effect The effect allows for one tRNA to bind to more than codon by allowing some variation in base pairing of the codon 7 Incoming amino acids bind to the site of the ribosome and translation termination is initiated when a is in the site of the ribosome 8 Describe how translation is terminated
