Detailed Solution

To initiate translation, the mRNA first binds to the smaller ribosomal subunit. Ribosome consists of structural RNAs and about 80 different proteins. In its inactive state, it exist as two subunits, a large subunit and a small subunit. when the smaller subunit encounters the mRNA, the process of translation of the mRNA to protein begins with the binding of the mRNA to the smaller ribosome unit.
