What molecule is responsible for carrying the genetic information encoded on DNA from the nucleus to the ribosome?
mRNA
The molecule that brings amino acids to the ribosome mRNA complex is what?
Transfer RNA.
Where does the process of translation do in mRNA?
The newly spliced mRNA binds to a ribosome. tRNA molecules migrate towards the ribosome, these tRNA molecules carries a specific amino acid. The ribosome allows two tRNA molecules into the ribosome at a time. The tRNA molecules have complementary anti-codons to the codons present on the mRNA strand. Two tRNA move into the ribosome and their anti-codons join to complementary codons on the mRNA strand. As one molecule leaves the ribosome, its amino acid forms a peptide bond with an amino acid on the adjacent tRNA molecule, with the help of ATP and an enzyme. As the ribosome moves along the the mRNA strand, a polypeptide chain is created. The ribosome stops reading the mRNA strand when it reaches a stop codon.
What type of molecule is the tRNA bring to the mRNA?
tRNA brings amino acids to the mRNA on the ribosome.
One binding site on a ribosome holds an mRNA molecule and the other two binding?
tRNA molecules.
What molecule is used to take this DNA code out to the ribosome?
mRNA (messenger RNA) is the molecule that carries the copied code from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome.
What molecule is responsible for carrying genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome?
mRNA
what happens in First Steps?
The mRNA molecule attaches to a ribosome where it will be translated.
What steps happen first in translation?
The mRNA molecule attaches to a ribosome where it will be translated.

Transfer RNA.
Observe how the mRNA interacts with the ribosome in the simulation. How is this interaction similar to what actually happens in translation?
The interaction between mRNA and ribosomes in the simulation is meant to reflect the process of translation that occurs in cells. During translation, the ribosome uses the information stored in the mRNA molecule to synthesize a protein. The ribosome moves along the mRNA molecule and reads its codons (sets of three nucleotides) to determine which amino acids should be added to the growing polypeptide chain. In the simulation, the mRNA molecule is represented as a linear sequence of codons, and the ribosome is represented as a moving object that recognizes and interacts with the codons. The ribosome moves along the mRNA and recognizes each codon by binding to it. This interaction is similar to what happens in real cells, where the ribosome recognizes codons by binding to specific sites on the mRNA molecule. In the simulation, the ribosome can also interact with tRNA molecules, which bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome for incorporation into the growing polypeptide chain. This is similar to what happens in real cells, where tRNA molecules bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome for use in protein synthesis. Overall, the interaction between mRNA and ribosomes in the simulation is meant to closely resemble the process of translation that occurs in cells.
What process describes a protein being assembled?
Translation is the assembly of a protein molecule according to the code in an mRNA molecule. It takes place in the ribosome. tRNA brings correct amino acids to mRNA.
