The process of translation of mRNA to proteins begins as soon as:

  1. A
    The small subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA
  2. B
    The larger subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA
  3. C
    Both the subunits join together to bind with mRNA
  4. D
    The tRNA is activated and the larger subunit of ribosome encounters mRNA

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The process of translation (protein synthesis) is initiated when the small subunit of the ribosome binds to the mRNA at the specific start codon (AUG). This event triggers the recruitment of the initiator tRNA and subsequently the large ribosomal subunit to form the complete translation complex.
