Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Translation is the process in which the nucleotide sequence in mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) is read as a genetic code for an amino acid. This produces the polypeptide chain with a certain sequence of amino acids. The mRNA attaches to the ribosome and the tRNA (transfer RNA) brings the amino acids to the ribosome.
