Process of translation

Translation: the process of converting the mRNA codon sequences into an amino acid polypeptide chain. 

1. Initiation - A ribosome attaches to the mRNA and starts to code at the FMet codon (usualy AUG, sometimes GUG or UUG). 
2. Elongation - tRNA brings the corresponding amino acid to each codon as the ribosome moves down the mRNA strand. 
3. Termination - Reading of the final mRNA codon (aka the STOP codon), which ends the synthesis of the peptide chain and releases it.
