TRANSLATION- Takes place in the ribosomes. This is where the mRNA is interpreted and new proteins formed.
(1)mRNA attaches to the ribosome, the ribsome reads te mRNA.
(2)Ribosome decodes mRNA in condons (groups of three) which are complimentary to bases in transfer RNA (tRNA)
(3)The tRNA is specifc to the amino acid it collects and returns to the mRNA.
(4)The amino acids are now lined up in order of the instructions on the mRNA.
(5)Bonds form between the amino acids, a polypeptide chain is formed.
(6)The polypeptide chain folds and becomes a specific shape forming a protein.
