What subcellular structure is involved in translation?

In translation (RNA to Protein) a ribosome attaches to an mRNA strand and uses the mRNA to create a protein. There are other types of RNA and protein that can modify the mRNA strand but ribosomes are the main structure involved in translation.


When does the process of translation begin in protein synthesis, specifically with the recognition of the AUG start codon?

The process of translation in protein synthesis begins when the ribosome recognizes the AUG start codon on the mRNA strand.


What steps happen first in translation?

The mRNA molecule attaches to a ribosome where it will be translated.


What is the subunit of a ribosome holds onto the mRNA strand?

The ribosomal subunit of a ribosome holds onto the mRNA strand


How is dna made into mRNA?

DNA is not made into mRNA, it is transcribed by mRNA. The DNA molecule is split into two strands by the enzyme helicase. One strand is the sense strand and the other is the anti-sense strand. Then mRNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary DNA bases on the antisense strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase causes the mRNA nucleotides to bond with one another, forming a strand of mRNA.


What is the piece of genetic information removed from an mRNA strand after translation called?

The piece of genetic information removed from an mRNA strand after translation is called the poly-A tail. It is a stretch of adenosine nucleotides added to the mRNA during post-transcriptional processing.


How does a ribosomes?

The ribosome is worked with a combination of the three RNAs, the tRNA to supply the anticodons and the amino acids, mRNA to supply the codons and the informations, and ribosome, which is about 60% rRNA and 40% proteins and comes in two subunits, one large and one small. When the mRNA is sent out into the cytoplasm, a message is sent to assemble the two subunits which have previously been separated. The mRNA attaches to the small subunit, then the tRNA attaches itself to the mRNA. Finally, the large subunit of the ribosome attaches itself and the translation begins.


What happens to the original DNA strand once the mRNA is completely copied?

mRNA goes to the ribosomes for translation.


New mRNA is made through a process of?

transcription, where the DNA double strand is unwound by RNA polymerase causing one of the DNA strands to be used as a template to create a complementary mRNA strand. This mRNA strand is then modified and processed before it can be used for protein synthesis.


How many strands of mRNA are made during the process of transcription?

A single mRNA strand is typically produced but a single strand can make many many copies of the protein encoded on the molecule.


Translation begins when the initiator tRNA binds to the?

start codon on the mRNA strand. This signals the ribosome to begin assembling the amino acid sequence based on the mRNA instructions.


What name is assigned to augwhich stands for methionine in which all mRNA molecules start?

The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
