Translation Practice Test

During translation, the polypeptide is synthesized beginning from its carboxy terminus and ending with its amino terminus

The Shine-Delgarno sequence is a stretch of nucleotides on the RNA to be translated, which helps to initiate polypeptide synthesis by allowing the ribosomes to bind to the RNA

All translation begins on bound ribosomes attaches to the rough endoplasmic reticulum

All translation begins in the cytoplasm on free ribosomes

tRNA acts as the template for polypeptide synthesis during translation
