What does messenger RNA become attached to in cytoplasm?

I assume you are talking about protein synthesis? Good. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is ejected from the nucleus after it has made a copy of the base pairing sequence for that particular gene (to produce a protein) via a nuclear pore. The mRNA comes into contact with Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in the cytoplasm of the cell. The Transfer RNA (tRNA) then brings along the correct amino acids as indicated by the sequence of the mRNA which is attached to the rRNA. The mRNA is passed between the sub units of the ribosome and the tRNA brings along the amino acids in the correct sequence until a codon is present (tells it to stop). The amino acids are then joined by a condensation reaction with peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain and eventually a protein. Amazing stuff huh?!


Which codon tells where a sequence of amino acids is to begin?

i think its ACT/UGA. ya, tht sounds right now tht ive typed it out


Formed of an mRNA base triplet?

An enzyme Rna polymerase but I am not totally sure I am researching genetics just as a layman tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for picking up amino acids from inside the cytoplasm and "transfering" them to the site of translation in the ribosome mRNA (messenger RNA) tells the ribosome what order to put the amino acids in to make a particular protein


When a tRNA anticodon binds to an mRNA codon does the amino acid detach from the tRNA molecule and bond to the end of a growing protein chain?

yes very much so, it's the anti-codon that tells the tRNA which amino acid to go get

Are the number of cell ribosome allows to synthesis thousands of different protein?

The number doesn't effect the types of proteins that a cell produces. The DNA tells the ribosome (in a round about way) what the protein will be.


What can the ribosomes be compared to in real life?

Interesting question. To me, the most obvious answer is to draw an analogy between a ribosome and a shopper. The ribosome reads mRNA just as the shopper reads a grocery list. Each unit of mRNA is a three-letter code that tells the ribosome which amino acid it needs to add to make a complete protein, much in the same way that each item in a grocery list tells the shopper which items to pull from the shelves and add to their shopping cart.
