Identify each process description as belonging to initiation, elongation, or termination. :: Protein is built one amino acid at a time until mRNA reads a stop codon ! Ribosome encounters and binds to the first start codon: RNA binds to mRNA codon
:: RNA polymerase binds to the DNA promoter II RNA polymerase detaches from the DNA and releases the transcribed RNA !! RNA polymerase travels downstream, (3 to 5'), lengthening the mRNA transcript 1 Stop codon signals the end of elongation, cleaving the protein from tRNA
