3. Translation

4. Translation: From mRNA to Protein Translation is the process of changing the information from an order of nitrogen bases in mRNA into the order of amino acids. This takes place at the ribosomes in the cytoplasm

5. Translation 1.When mRNA enters the cytoplasm, ribosomes attach – For proteins to be made 20 different amino acids must be brought to the ribosomes.

6. tRNA 2.tRNA brings the amino acids to the mRNA strand – tRNA functions as a delivery service. – It’s only function is to find it’s match and deliver the amino acid there.

7. Translation 3.Another tRNA bonds to codon, AA’s bond together – This continues until a stop codon is reached. – Amino acid chains then become proteins

8. tRNA Structure tRNA is made of 2 parts: – Anticodon (driver) – Amino acid (delivery) Called anticodons because they bond to the codon in mRNA
