Question

1.Label the following structures on a diagram of a ribosome in protein synthesis
a)ribosome
b)small ribosomal sub- unit
c)Large ribosomal sub-unit
d)mRNA
e)t.RNA
f)amino acid.

Answer 1

​​​​​​summary: mRNA binds to ribosome. tRNA with corresponding anticodon binds to the mRNA The tRNA with the amino acid corresponding to the anticodon on mRNA links to mRNA followed by binding of the previous and new amino acids leading to formation of polypeptide chain. rRNA facilitates the binding of amino acids.Empty tRNA leaves the ribosome and new tRNA arrives corresponding to the codon on mRNA
