RNA Translation and Genetic Code Quiz

Translation is the process of converting the nucleotide sequence of mRNA (codons) into an amino acid sequence of a protein to synthesize proteins.

A codon is a sequence of 3 nucleotides that specifies a particular amino acid. The collection of these codons makes up the genetic code.

The requirements for the translational process include mRNA as a carrier of genetic information and tRNA as an adapter molecule that recognizes an amino acid on one end and has an anticodon on the other end.

<p>Protein biosynthesis is called translation because it involves the translation of information from the language and structure of nucleic acid into the language and structure of proteins.</p> Signup and view all the answers
