Question

What is translation?


Open in App
Solution

Translation:

  1. Translation is the process by which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum make proteins after the process of converting DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus, as defined by molecular biology and genetics.
  2. To create a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide, during translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in a ribosome outside the nucleus.
  3. Later, after folding into a functioning protein, the polypeptide carries out its specific tasks within the cell.
  4. By encouraging the binding of complementary tRNA anticodon sequences to mRNA codons, the ribosome makes decoding easier.
  5. As the mRNA goes through and is "read" by the ribosome, the tRNAs transport particular amino acids that are strung together into a polypeptide.
