Translation protein synthesis

Cards (1)

  • mRNA goes to ribosome in the cytoplasm
    mRNA binds with rRNA in the ribosome
    tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome
    tRNA contains an anticodon
    as the mRNA passes through the ribosome, the anti codon on tRNA is matched to the codon on the mRNA
    The amino acids separate from the tRNA and bond together creating a polypeptide that will form a protein
    once complete the protein folds into the correct shape
