Question

A molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) has just been synthesized in the nucleus of a human cell.

Once in the cytoplasm, how is the mRNA translated to a protein?

Answer 1

The mRNA will attach to the small ribosomal unit and then the large ribosomal unit. Then the mRNA will be decoded with its codon's tRNA. The anticodon will bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the mRNA. The tRNA will come in at the A site and a peptide bond will form between amino acids at the A and P sites. Then the empty tRNA will exit the ribosome and this will continue until the stop sequence is reached.
