An mRNA is usually translated by many ribosomes simultaneously. Translation is sub divided into three stages: 1. Initiation: the assembly of the components needed to begin translation 2. Elongation: the stepwise addition of each amino acid to the growing polypeptide 3. Termination: the completion of polypeptide synthesis, release of the finished polypeptide, and dissociation of the ribosomal subunits This animation shows the stages of translation in prokaryotes.
