    Study Notes

    Ribosome Composition

    • Ribosomes consist of two subunits: large subunit and small subunit.

    Translation Process

    • The molecule that adapts specific triplet codons in mRNA to their correct amino acids is called tRNA (transfer RNA).
    • The biological polymerization of amino acids into polypeptide chains is known as protein synthesis or translation.

    Prokaryotic Ribosomes

    • The size of the monosome (a single ribosome) in prokaryotes is approximately 70S (Svedberg units).

    rRNA Genes

    • The genes responsible for the production of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) are clustered in a region known as the nucleolus organizer region (NOR).
