The polypeptide stops growing when it reaches a stop codon on the mRNA during translation. This signals the ribosome to release the polypeptide chain, which then undergoes further processing to become a functional protein.

When does a polypeptide stop growing?

A polypeptide stops growing when the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mRNA template. This triggers the release of the polypeptide chain, along with the ribosome and mRNA, from the protein synthesis machinery.


What happens to the growing of polypeptide?

It will either continue growing, or develop into a functional protein.


What regions of a ribosome holds the growing polypeptide?

The P site and the A site of the ribosome hold the growing polypeptide chain during translation. The P site is where the tRNA carrying the growing polypeptide is located, and the A site is where the new tRNA carrying the next amino acid in the sequence enters.


What places the amino acid on the growing polypeptide chains?

Ribo


What is added to the polypeptide strand?

Amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide strand during protein synthesis. Ribosomes facilitate the process by reading the mRNA and catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between the amino acids. This results in the elongation of the polypeptide chain until a stop codon is reached.
