Today, Hostin, 45, whose mother is Puerto Rican and father is African American, is, for many television viewers, their go-to media analyst for high-profile, complicated legal cases, particularly those with a racial component.
The mRNA is then transported into the cytoplasm where ribosomes assist in their translation into proteins. Finally, these proteins are packaged and sorted in the Golgi apparatus for use in other parts of the cell or in preparation for secretion into other cells.
A second important type of RNA is transfer RNA (tRNA), which is used to carry amino acids to the ribosomes for protein synthesis. Molecules of tRNA exist free in the cytoplasm of cells. When protein synthesis is taking place, enzymes link tRNA to amino acids in a highly specific manner.
