Question

Answer in 200 to 250 words:
Explain the process of translation in protein synthesis.

Answer 1

Translation is the process in which cellular ribosomes create proteins. In translation, messenger RNA produced by transcription from DNA is decoded by a ribosome complex to produce specific proteins. The ribosome attaches to the start site and then facilitates decoding by inducing the binding of complementary tRNA anticodon sequences to mRNA codons. The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide as the mRNA passes through and is read by the ribosome. When the ribosome reaches the stop site, the protein is released.
