A ribosome, which is where mRNA is translated, has a P site and an A site.
Anticodons are attached to the codons on the mRNA.
The initiator tRNA is first attached at the start codon (AUG) on the mRNA. The anticodon of the initiator tRNA base pairs with the start codon, signaling the beginning of translation.

mRNA: In eukaryotes DNA is transcribed and a chain of RNA nucleotides is produced by RNA polymerase, RNA polymerase moves along the DNA untwisting the double helix and adding nucleotides to a growing RNA molecule. When the RNA polymerase transcribes the terminator sequence transcription stops, the production being the pre-mRNA molecule. The pre-mRNA molecule then undergoes RNA splicing, where via a spliceosome the introns (non-coding segements) are removed and the exons (coding segments) are spliced together; when this is complete the product is a mRNA molecule. The mRNA molecule then exits the nuclear envelope and translation beings; where it attaches to one of the ribosomal (rRNA) subunits. The other subunit is the attachment site for the tRNA molecule, which carries amino acids. The codon (3 nucleotide sequence on the mRNA molecule) finds its complementary pair with the anti-codon, a part of the tRNA molecule. The tRNA molecule first attaches to the A site of the ribosome, moves to the P site, and exits at the E site. The amino acid chain is passed off from the P site to the A site tRNA molecule and so through this process the polypeptide chain is produced. After the polypeptide is produced it undergoes some alterations and additions (adding of sugars, folding, etc.) and is final a fully functioning protein.
Translation is process in which the mRNA is read by ribosomes to make protein.The translation completes in these steps: initiation,elongation and termination.Activation of amino acids - amino acid is joined to the correct tRNAInitiation: Initiation Factor (IF-2-GTP) guides the first tRNA (tRNAifmet) to the P site. The large ribosomal subunit then arrives.Elongation:(a)Codon recognition: The second tRNA with amino acid arrives at the A site (guided by Elogation Factor (EF-Tu)(b)Peptide bond formation: A peptide bond is formed between the first and second amino acids.(c)Translocation: The 1st tRNA moves to the E site (and exits) and 2nd tRNA moves to the P site. Now the A site is again available for next tRNA.This process of polypeptide chain elongation continues until a stop codon (the region of base triplet of mRNA where the polypeptide chain is complete and released) is reached.Termination: A release factor binds to the A site. It carries no amino acid but facilitate the release of the polypeptide, the ribosome and tRNA from the mRNA.
Anticodons are attached to the codons on the mRNA.
3, the A P E sites(they stand for something but i for got exactly what except for E for exit) A for amino acids entering, P for the amino acids to join together and E for the transport things to E exit
start codon on the mRNA strand. This signals the ribosome to begin assembling the amino acid sequence based on the mRNA instructions.
The initiator tRNA is first attached at the start codon (AUG) on the mRNA. The anticodon of the initiator tRNA base pairs with the start codon, signaling the beginning of translation.

The large ribosomal unit has three binding sites for tRNA molecules: the A site (aminoacyl-tRNA), the P site (peptidyl-tRNA), and the E site (exit site). These sites are crucial for the proper assembly of amino acids into a growing polypeptide chain during translation.
In short, translation is the process of ribosomes reading mRNA and using tRNA to gather the amino acids specified by the mRNA. The tRNA anticodons are complementary to the codons (three nucleotide sequence that represents an amino acid) on mRNA and allow them to be identified by the ribosome. In detail, translation is the second process of making a protein or polypeptide, the first being transcription. During translation, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and moves to the ribosome, usually located on the Rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum) or in the cytoplasm of the cell. The ribosome consists of two subunits, a large and small one. Initiation factors take the mRNA to the small ribosomal subunit, where other initiation factors move the tRNA to the first codon (three nucleotides sequence that represents a particular amino acid.) Then, the large ribosomal subunit attaches to the small subunit, encasing the mRNA and tRNA. The ribosome contains three distinct areas that the tRNA can occupy in the ribosome: the A site, where tRNA enters and receives the existing amino acid chain, the P site, where it comes in contact with the codons on the mRNA, and the E site, where the tRNA prepares to leave the ribosome. The first tRNA enters the P site and always carries N-formylmethionine (fMet), and all subsequent tRNAs enter the A site, then move to the P site then E site. Since tRNA is reusable and can only carry a particular amino acid, its possesses anticodons that represent the amino acid it carries. The first codon on mRNA is always a 'start' codon AUG (amino acid Methionine.) The ribosome moves down the mRNA and 'reads' each mRNA codon and finds the tRNA with the complementary anticodon (for example, if a codon on mRNA was GGG (Glycine), the complementary tRNA would have an anticodon of CCC and would be carrying the amino acid Glycine.) At the end of the mRNA, a stop signal is read by the ribosome and a release enters the A site instead of tRNA, prompting the ribosome to disassemble and be made available for more mRNA. The stop codons (also known as nonsense codons) are UAA, UAG, and UGA; they do not translate into any amino acid.
mRNA: In eukaryotes DNA is transcribed and a chain of RNA nucleotides is produced by RNA polymerase, RNA polymerase moves along the DNA untwisting the double helix and adding nucleotides to a growing RNA molecule. When the RNA polymerase transcribes the terminator sequence transcription stops, the production being the pre-mRNA molecule. The pre-mRNA molecule then undergoes RNA splicing, where via a spliceosome the introns (non-coding segements) are removed and the exons (coding segments) are spliced together; when this is complete the product is a mRNA molecule. The mRNA molecule then exits the nuclear envelope and translation beings; where it attaches to one of the ribosomal (rRNA) subunits. The other subunit is the attachment site for the tRNA molecule, which carries amino acids. The codon (3 nucleotide sequence on the mRNA molecule) finds its complementary pair with the anti-codon, a part of the tRNA molecule. The tRNA molecule first attaches to the A site of the ribosome, moves to the P site, and exits at the E site. The amino acid chain is passed off from the P site to the A site tRNA molecule and so through this process the polypeptide chain is produced. After the polypeptide is produced it undergoes some alterations and additions (adding of sugars, folding, etc.) and is final a fully functioning protein.
The codes for making proteins are carried from the nucleus to the ribosomes by another type of nucleic acid called ribonucleic acid, or RNA. At the ribosome the RNA's message is translated into a specific protein

Processed mRNA also moves to the ribosome.3) Ribosome fixes onto the mRNA strand and detects the start codon AUG.4) When it hits AUG, the tRNA coding for Methionine will enter the A site of the ribosome. Here, the tRNA carries out complementary base pairing with the mRNA strand.5) The Met-tRNA moves to the P site. The next codon (3 bps) are read and the appropriate tRNA molecule binds to it in the A site.6) The Met amino acid from the P site then binds to the 2nd amino acid from the A site, catalysed by peptidyl transferase. The first tRNA molecule leaves the ribosome through the E site. The second tRNA molecule moves into the P site.7) The step above is repeated until the ribosome gets to the STOP codon. When this occurs, the ribosome leaves the mRNA strand and the mRNA strand disintegrates. The completed polypeptide chain folds into its secondary, tertiary and quarternary structures and forms proteins and enzymes.
