Translation

Definition of DNA Translation: mRNA is decoded by a ribosome to make an amino acid chain.

Key Molecules and Proteins in TranslationmRNA: the code of nucleotides that gets

translated to amino acidstRNA: the molecule that carries the correct

amino acid to the ribosomeRibosomes: assembles proteins by linking

amino acids together in the correct order

TRANSLATION NOTES

mRNA and Codons
