RNA (specifically mRNA in eukaryotes) serves as the template that the ribosomes read in order to make the protein. Each amino acid is encoded by three bases of RNA (called a codon). tRNA molecules in the cell bind to the amino acids - a specific tRNA for each amino acid. The tRNA molecules recognise the codons and bind to them thus presenting the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome for he generation of the new protein. There is actually another class of RNA that is now known to be inolved in translation in mammals called microRNA (microRNAs exist in most if not all eukaryotes, but their function differs slightly). In mammals, microRNAs bind to mRNAs and prevent them from being translated. This is a post-transcriptional control of translation.

I am sorry if this is wrong but I think its ribosomal

WRONG

In translation:

Ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) is the central component of the ribosome, the protein manufacturing machinery of all living cells. Its function is to provide a mechanism for decoding mRNA into amino acids.

rRNA is ribosomal RNA. It is what makes up the ribosomes. The ribosomes then are the ones to translate the mRNA sequences.

True or false Only ribosomal RNA plays a role in translation?

False.


Which is the role RNA during translation?

It's involved in making proteins. Good luck on your Biology test.


How is the role in RNA during translation?

i don't know about RNA translation but to make RNA, a DNA molecule unzips and connects again to make DNA, but instead of thymine it uses uracil (i just learned genetics in life science) also, RNA makes amino acids which makes protein which then makes cells for your body


What type of RNA is involved in translation?

ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA


Which is NOT a form of ribonucleic acid or RNA?

Translation RNA


What do the promoter region do in the DNA translation?

The promoter region has no role in translation. It is the site where RNA Polymerase binds to initiate transcription. Basically, talking about bacteria, a protein called sigma70 binds to the promoter and recruits the RNA Polymerase enzyme. After the RNA Pol is recruited, the sigma70 factor is released and RNA Polymerase synthesizes the complementary mRNA from the DNA that is being transcribed.

Where does translation occur in the cell?

Translation occurs at the cytoplasm in the cell.

The molecule produced after translation of RNA is protein.


Is the process in which DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules known as translation?

Nope. Transcription first, then translation. They occur in alphabetical order. The DNA is copied into RNA in transcription. The RNA is translated into protein in translation.
