Translation

rRNA-Ribosomal RNA

tRNA-Transport RNA

Codon-Groups of 3 of nitrogen bases

-Translation is the second part of creating proteins

-translation is the process in which ribosomes in a cell's cytoplasm create proteins, following transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus.

-In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded by a ribosome, outside the nucleus, to produce a specific amino acid chain

 -The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide as the mRNA passes through and is read by the ribosome.

Reflection-

When researching this topic I learned more about how translation works and the steps that go with it. We had previously learned about this in class so I already knew a lot of about this topic but researching it on my own time made me understand it 10 times better. I liked this objective because it really put the pieces together in my head about the making of proteins.
