It removes our tRNA from the east side of our ribosome. And this entire process, the process by which our ribosome actually slides along the mRNA and these tRNAs are expelled from the ribosome, is known as the process of translocation. Now, once the acide is empty, the process can repeat itself to add another amino acid. And this continues until the polypeptide chain is actually complete. Now, the next question is, how do we know that our polypeptide chain is actually complete? Well, the last stage of translation is known as termination.
