  1. Do you mean protein synthesis?


  2. Start and stop codons are on the mRNA strand.  The ribosome scans along the mRNA, looking for the start codon, AUG.  When AUG is in the P-site of the ribosome, a tRNA carries methionine in to begin the process of translation.  Translation continues until a stop codon (there are three to choose from) enters the A site.  When this happens, there is no matching tRNA and the ribosome disassembles and the polypeptide is cleaved from the final tRNA.
