Question

match the letters with the main components involved in protein synthesis.
growing
polypeptide chain
of amino acids
amino acid
peptide bond
(the molecule)
d.
e.
f.
b.
a. (the process)
ribosome mrna trna translation anticodon codon

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each component:

• A (The Process): Protein synthesis step shown is translation (ribosome reads mRNA to make protein).
• B (Molecule with codons): mRNA carries genetic code in codons.
• D (Molecule being read): mRNA is the template.
• A (Structure): Ribosome is the site of translation.
• C (Carries amino acid): tRNA transfers amino acids.
• E (On tRNA): Anticodon on tRNA pairs with mRNA codon.
• F (On mRNA): Codon is the 3 - base sequence on mRNA.

Matching:
A. translation (process of protein synthesis at ribosome)
B. mRNA (has codons, template)
D. ribosome (site of translation)
C. tRNA (carries amino acid)
E. anticodon (on tRNA, pairs with codon)
F. codon (3 - base on mRNA)

Answer:

A. translation
B. mRNA
C. tRNA
D. ribosome
E. anticodon
F. codon
