Molecular Genetics: Part 7: Translation of mRNA Into Proteins Flashcards
1
Q
What is Translation?
A
It is the process by which the mRNA sequence is converted into Amino Acids.
2
Q
Where does Translation occur?
A
It occurs in the Ribosome.
3
Q
What happens during Translation?
A
Amino Acids present in the Cytoplasm are carried by tRNA molecules to Codons of mRNA strands at the Ribosome.
4
Q
Can many Codons code for 1 Amino Acid?
A
Yes.
