<span>Translation
</span>Remember that transcription happens in the nucleus as it changes from DNA
to mRNA. In translation,
the mRNA first has to leave the
nucleus and go into the cytoplasm of the cell.
The process of translation actually occurs in the cell’s ribosomes.
<span>
</span>The process of translation uses the genetic code on the mRNA strand to
direct the construction (making) of a protein molecule. <span>
</span>1. A ribosome attaches to an mRNA
molecule in the cytoplasm.<span>
</span>2. As each codon passes through the
ribosome, tRNA molecules bring the matching amino acids into the ribosome. Each tRNA has a set of 3 unpaired nitrogenous
bases called an anticodon which matches up with the codon coming through the
ribosome. So one end of a tRNA has an
anticodon and the other end carries the amino acid which is how the code is
translated.<span>
</span>3. The ribosome and the rRNA
molecules it contains attach the amino acids together as they are being
translated. The protein chain will keep
growing until the ribosome reaches the stop codon on the mRNA. At that point, translation is done and the
ribosome lets go.
Hope this helps!!!
Hi there!
Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.
<span>In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.</span>
