What is translation?
Q: What is translation?
A: Translation is the second part of protein biosynthesis, which is the process of making proteins. It is part of gene expression and involves the formation of messenger RNA from exons and introns.
Q: Where does translation take place in eukaryotes?
A: In eukaryotes, translation happens on ribosomes in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum.
Q: How do tRNAs work during translation?
A: During translation, tRNAs with anticodons connect to mRNA's matching codons and carry amino acids. When a tRNA matches with an mRNA, the amino acid that was connected to it gets unconnected from the tRNA and gets connected to the amino acid brought by the previous tRNA.
Q: How does a ribosome work during translation?
A: A ribosome works like a stock ticker and ticker tape during translation. Many ribosomes attach themselves to an outer membrane of rough endoplasmic reticulum along with mRNA, where they make proteins that go into vesicles which then bring them to other organelles or outside of the cell.
Q: What comes before transcription?
A: Before transcription comes gene expression which produces a chain of introns and exons through RNA splicing by spliceosomes which remove introns.
Q: What happens after polypeptides are made during translation?
A: After polypeptides are made during translation, they may need to be combined with other polypeptides so they can form whole proteins or folded before they can function as proteins.
Q: Where does translation take place in bacteria?
A:In bacteria,translation takes place in their cell cytoplasm since they have no nucleus.
