What is the location in the cell for translation?

• nucleus
• mitochondria
• ribosome
• chloroplast

ribonucleic acid; a natural polymer that is present in all living cells and that plays a role in protein synthesis

• DNA

• RNA

• codon

• gene

the portion of protein synthesis that takes place at ribosomes and that use the codons in mRNA molecules to specify the sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chains

• transcription

• translation

• purine

the process forming a nucleic acid by using another molecule as a template; particularly the process of synthesizing RNA by using one strand of a DNA molecule as a template

• DNA

• RNA

• transcription
