Question

translation
growing polypeptide chain
peptide bonds to the trna
ribosome
which step of translation involves a release factor binding to the stop codon?
synthesis
termination
replication

Explanation:

In translation, the termination step occurs when a release factor binds to the stop codon on the mRNA. This causes the ribosome to release the newly synthesized polypeptide chain. Synthesis is the elongation of the polypeptide, and replication is for DNA, not translation. So the correct step is termination.

Answer:

termination
