Translation

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in a cell, where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

tRNA (transfer RNA) is a type of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, matching them to the appropriate codon on the mRNA.

The two main processes are transcription (where DNA is transcribed to mRNA) and translation (where mRNA is translated into a protein at the ribosome).

The RNA codon UUA codes for the amino acid Leucine, which is one of the building blocks of proteins.

Translation occurs in the ribosome, which can be found in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA, which carries the genetic information needed for protein synthesis.

mRNA (messenger RNA) serves as the template for protein synthesis, carrying the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosome.

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis.

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, while tRNA brings the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome for protein assembly.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins; they are linked together in a specific sequence to form a protein during translation.
