By the way, to answer the question â I have read accounts of explorers like Scott and Shackleton whose men were forced to eat penguins to survive. By all reports, they were greasy and not very tasty. Be warned.
Translation. The mRNA formed in transcription is transported out of the nucleus, into the cytoplasm, to the ribosome (the cell's protein synthesis factory). Here, it directs protein synthesis. Messenger RNA is not directly involved in protein synthesis â transfer RNA (tRNA) is required for this. The process by which mRNA directs protein synthesis with the assistance of tRNA is called translation. The ribosome is a very large complex of RNA and protein molecules. Each three-base stretch of mRNA (triplet) is known as a codon, and one codon contains the information for a specific amino acid.
In bacteria, translation occurs in the cell's cytoplasm, where the large and small subunits of the ribosome bind to the mRNA. In eukaryotes, translation occurs in the cytosol or across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum in a process called vectorial synthesis.n translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) âproduced by transcription from DNA âis decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide.
