mRNA attaches to ribosome in cytoplasm
Ribosome attaches at start codon
tRNA molecule with complementary anticodon (to start codon) aligns opposite the mRNA
Held in place by ribosome
Ribosome will move along one codon on mRNA molecule
Enables another complementary tRNA to attach to next codon on mRNA
Two AAs from tRNA joined by peptide bond (requires ATP, enzyme catalyses)
Continues until ribosome reaches stop codon on end of mRNA (does not code for AA)
Ribosome detaches
Translation ends
Polypeptide chain created
Enters Golgi Body for folding/ modification
