Question

What are the stages of translation? (4)

Sammy Universe · Accepted Answer

Initiation:  assembly of active ribosomal complex on an mRNA sequence 
Elongation: new AA is added to a developing peptide chain
Translocation: ribosome moves to the next codon position
Termination: ribosomal complex + polypeptide separates from mRNA
