Translation


What is it?
DNA translation converts the mRNA sequence into amino acids that form protiens. This creates most of the protiens that make up cells. It creates the last step from DNA to a protien.
Wher does it occur?
Translation occurs outside the nucleas also known as in the cytoplasm. Eventhough this is true one article suggests that translation can occur inside the nucleas. Click here to see.
When does it occur?
Translation occurs right after transcription is done and the mRNA is transported out of the nucleas.
How does it Happen?
During DNA translation, messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and ribosomes work together to produce proteins. A ribosomal subunit attaches to a mRNA molecule. The Transfer-RNA transports the amino acid from the cytoplasm to the ribosome. The start codon attaches to Met this starts making the protein.
