Figure 30.12: Elongation of protein synthesis

Termination: Termination of translation occurs due to the stop codon, There is three stop codon (UAA, UAG and UGA) present. Out of these three when one of the stop codons appears in the A site of the ribosome it causeĀ  termination because there is no tRNAs present corresponding to these codons, so tRNA is notĀ  bind codon and cause termination.
