Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes the flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to RNA to protein.
Identify the process that converts mRNA into a protein. This process is known as translation.
During translation, the mRNA sequence is read by the ribosome in sets of three nucleotides called codons.
Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, and transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome.
The ribosome assembles the amino acids into a polypeptide chain, forming a protein based on the sequence of codons in the mRNA.
