Why is translation appropriate for describing the synthesis of proteins?

Answer 1

'Translation' means to render something into another form. This word is used because the rRNA is using the code on the mRNA to make a protein. It's like changing the 'language' from RNA codes to a physical protein structure; the amino acids are like letters of protein language and every 3 codons of the RNA are the letters of the RNA language.

Answer 2

Kind of. Substituting the word "translation" for protein synthesis will only describe a portion of the entire process. In order to fully describe protein synthesis, the two words would be transcription and translation to account for both the creation of mRNA and the assembly of the polypeptide chain.

Answer 3

As the RNA feeds its way through the two subunits, these tRNA's attach, detach their amino acid to the growing chain, and then detach to go gather another amino acid. This entire process of feeding the RNA strand through the ribosomes and tRNA's adding their respective amino acid to the growing peptide chain is called translation. amino acids is the building blocks (monomers) of protein

Answer 4

another form of DNA is produced. another copy is produced.
