Translation

translation-dna.gif
During translation, the cell uses information fro messenger RNA to produce proteins. Like an assembly line worker who attaches one part of another, the ribosome forms a peptide bond between the first and second amino acids. The ribosome then moves to the third codon, where a tRNA molecule brings it the amino acid specified by the third colon.
