During Translation Chain Elongation Continues Until?

During translation, chain elongation continues until: a stop codon is encountered.

What happens during chain elongation?

During the elongation stage, the ribosome continues to translate each codon in turn. Each corresponding amino acid is added to the growing chain and linked via a bond called a peptide bond. Elongation continues until all of the codons are read.

Where does elongation of translation occur?

During translation elongation, the ribosome ratchets along its mRNA template, incorporating each new amino acid and translocating from one codon to the next. The elongation cycle requires dramatic structural rearrangements of the ribosome.
