Mortality refers to death of individuals in a population. 

Minimum mortality rate, minimum death rate which occurs under ideal conditions of environment

Actual death rate is referred to as Ecological mortality.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

The initiation of prokaryotic translation commences with the small subunit and is catalyzed by three translation initiation factors called IF1, IF2, and IF3.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

IF2 is a GTPase (a protein that binds and hydrolyzes GTP) that interacts with three key components of the initiation machinery: the small subunit, IF1, and the charged initiator tRNA (fMet-tRNAi fMet).
