Biology
Once transcription occurs translation has to then do its job in the ribosomes by taking the base code of a mRNA molecule and translating a peptide into a chain of amino acids.
This is how it works: Molecules of mRNA come out of the nucleus then go to the ribosomes where codons are translated by tRNA molecules into amino acids. this is done by the RNA's specific code where three nucleotides, called a codon, are arranged to with the directions for the amino acid that matches them. The ribosome then surrounds the mRNA and uses it to make a chain of amino acids in the same order that they will be in in the finished protein.
Since this is not the finished product it is more like a blue print for the finished product. The reason it is not the finished product is because amino acid synthesis happens during digestion there for this is when it needs to be reviewed.
- Q: Compare And Contrast Transcription And Translation
Transcription occurs in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The two processes use different components and enzymes, transcription uses transcription factors and RNA polymerase whereas translation uses ribosomes...
- Translation
Translation is the process by which a triplet base sequence of mRNA molecules are converted into a specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain in the cytoplasm of a cell. It consists of initiation, elongation, and termination. The mRNA, a...
- Using The Genetic Code
The sequence of a coding strand of DNA, read in the direction from 5 to 3, consists of nucleotide triplets (codons) corresponding to the amino acid sequence of a protein read from N-terminus to C-terminus. Sequencing of DNA and proteins makes it possible...

KEY TERMS:The ribosome is a large assembly of RNA and proteins that synthesizes proteins under direction from an mRNA template. Bacterial ribosomes sediment at 70S, eukaryotic ribosomes at 80S. A ribosome can be dissociated into two subunits. A ribonucleoprotein...
