Which of these processes is NOT involved in translation? Answer initiation elongation replication termination

OpenStudy (surryyy):

my answer is replication. am i wrong?

OpenStudy (igreen):

That sounds right!

OpenStudy (igreen):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(biology) It mentions all 3 except Replication^^

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Translation is the process of synthesizing amino acids from the RNA, Replication is the process of making copy of DNA strands.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Initiation: The ribosome assembles around the target mRNA. The first tRNA is attached at the start codon. Elongation: The tRNA transfers an amino acid to the tRNA corresponding to the next codon. The ribosome then moves (translocates) to the next mRNA codon to continue the process, creating an amino acid chain. Termination: When a stop codon is reached, the ribosome releases the polypeptide.

OpenStudy (surryyy):

so its not replication?

OpenStudy (igreen):

It is replication..

OpenStudy (abhisar):

The correct option is replication.

OpenStudy (surryyy):
