Translation
Converts mRNA into a protein
Protein
Def. string of amino acids connected by peptide bonds
known as polypeptides
In the cytoplasm
Step 1
Second tRNA moves in
w/ correct anticodon
anticodon def.
set of three nucleotides that are complementary to the mRNA codon
tRNA attaches to start codon on RNA
w/ methionine and anticodon
Step 2
peptide bonds formed between amino acids
Ribosome forms the bonds
Bond between first tRNA and amino acids are broken
Step 3
Ribosome pulls mRNA one codon legnth
first tRNA exits
another tRNA moves in
translation continues until it reaches the stop codon
