This process, happening on/in the ribosomes, is called translation.

What is the process of assembling amino acids int a protein from a RNA molecule?
very much no!. RNA is Ribonucleic Acid, including 4 bases (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and uracil) a ribose sugar and a phosphate sugar. Amino acids comprise of an amino group (NH2+) a Carboxcylic acid group(COOH) and a carbon based R group. The chemicals required for each dont even overlap. Youre getting mixed up with the fact that RNA is used to know what amino acids to make. messenger RNA (mRNA) if created by the cell as a copy of the DNA which says what protein to make. every three bases says one amino acid. The mRNA goes to the ribosome where the mRNA is read, and it attracts the correct transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule there, each holding on to a different amino acid (there are 20 different ones) The amino acids are bound together and all the proteins are happy etc So RNA is just the plans that are read to make the amino acids, and the RNA molecules that help. They are not actually converted into them!
Where do the coded messages for making proteins originate from?
If I'm reading your question correctly then I would say that they come from the DNA when it is transcripted into RNA. Then this mRNA is read in a process called translation by the ribosome-tRNA complex and amino acids start coming together as the mRNA is being read. These amino acids as you probably already know are building blocks for proteins and eventually a protein would result from the translation of the mRNA.
How might nucleotide insertion cause a change in amino acids?
Nucleotides are read in groups of three, and inserting a nucleotide will mess up the process. Think of the sentence: "She did not eat the pie". If you insert a letter, everything up to that point will be the same, but the spacing afterwards will be off: "She did nzo tea tth epi e". This will cause all of the amino acids after that point to be incorrect, and the resulting protein to be nonfunctional.
What is tRNA used during translation?
tRNA (transfer RNA) is used to bring the amino acids to the ribosome when a protein is being made. tRNA has an anticodon that matches with the codon on the mRNA, so that it knows which amino acid to add to the protein that is being created.
How does aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis work?
The DNA from the nucleus is read in the ribosomes, which makes proteins. Then the protein is "perfected" in the endoplasmic reticulm, put in a vesicle and sent to the Golgi apparatus where it is package in a vesicle once more and sent out into the cell were it becomes part of the membrane, the cytoplasm, or the lysosomes.
What molecule is read to make amino acids?
Amino acids are made by reading the code in DNA. They are combined with other amino acids to form a protein.
What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?
Transcription
What role do amino acids play in protein synthesis?
Protein synthesis is the process of putting amino acids together to form a protein. So it's not a matter of which amino acids are vital. If you are asking which amino acids are vital in the synthesis of a specific protein, that would totally depend on which protein you are making.
What is the connection between amino acids and protiens?
A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides which is used as the template for translation into amino acids. Three codons will be read to produce one amino acid.
How can only four bases in RNA carry instructions for 20 different amino acids?
The properties of proteins are determined by the order in which different amino acids are joined together to produce polypeptides. The genetic code is read three letters at a time, so that each "word" of the coded message is three bases long.
What process takes place in the Ribosome?
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis. This is where mRNA is read and a sequence of amino acids are joined together to form a polypeptide/protein.
What are the smaller molecules called that make a protein?
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The instructions for protein synthesis are contained within the genes (on DNA). This instructions are read from an mRNA at the ribosomes to produce the correct sequence of amino acids - a protein.
What type of RNA is involved in bringing the amino acids to the ribosomes?
A ribosome is a part of a cell that makes different kinds of protein, using amino acids and RNA. A focal point of biology is the fact that DNA is used to make RNA, which in turn is used to make proteins. The DNA sequence in a gene is copied into a mRNA (the 'm' stands for 'messenger'). A ribosome will then read the information in this RNA and use it to create various proteins. The process explained above is known as translation, as the ribosome 'translates' the genetic information given by the RNA into proteins. Ribosomes do this by attaching to an mRNA and using it as a template to make the correct sequence of acids for a particular protein. The amino acids are attached to tRNA molecules (the 't' stands for 'transfer'), which enter the ribosome and attach the acids to the sequence of mRNA. The attached amino acids are then joined together by another part of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA, 'reading' the sequence of amino acids, and then producing a chain.

What determines which proteins are produced?
Genetic's determines what proteins are produced. Don't mix up proteins with amino acids; Proteins are made from amino acids and Amino acids are the monomers (building blocks) for proteins. In the triplet code an DNA strand is read like a book; for example: AT ] CG ] Amino acid Called Anmino acid lettered 'P'. TA ] PKUMIPPQ - All the amino acids join to form a protein (polypeptide).
How do amino acids make up protines?
Through a process called translation. The mRNA travels from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and binds to a ribosome. The sequence of 3 nucleotides in the mRNA correspond to a certain amino acid that binds to the top of the ribosome and then the mRNA keeps getting read, 3 nucleotides at a time, until there are 20 amino acids binded together. The ribosome then lets the protein go.
Do amino acids bind directly to the mRNA?
mRNA connects with the subunits of the ribosome. Each codon is read specifically and a matching anticodon brought by a tRNA is transferred. Each matched triplet adds amino acids to the polypeptide chain.
