mechanism of genetic translation

Genetic translation is the process where cells read the instructions in DNA to create proteins. First, a messenger called mRNA is made from DNA, carrying the instructions. The mRNA travels to the cell’s protein factory, the ribosome. The ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in groups of three bases, called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, the building blocks of proteins. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome, which links them together in order. This process continues until a complete protein is formed, then it is released to perform its function.
