What is the role of tRNA in translation?
Think about what role it plays in the assembling protein from mRNA instructions.

Recall the first amino acid that is added to the newly forming protein.
What does the term 'translation' refer to in molecular biology?
Consider what happens after mRNA is transcribed.
True or False: The stop codon signals the ribosome to continue adding amino acids.
Reflect on the purpose of the stop codon.
Describe how errors in translation can affect the overall function of a protein. Discuss potential causes of these errors.
Think about the impact of changing one letter in a word—how it might change the meaning.
Compare and contrast the processes of translation in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
Recall the compartmentalization of cellular processes in eukaryotes versus prokaryotes.
