Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which process occurs first during the initiation of translation?
Step 1: The ribosome, which is a cellular structure that helps make proteins, starts to find the mRNA, which is a molecule that carries the instructions for making a protein.
Step 2: The ribosome binds to the mRNA at a specific site called the start codon, which signals the beginning of the protein-making process.
