What cellular organelles is the site of the translation of the genetic code of nucleic acids into the amino acid code of polypeptides?

Ribosomes are the cellular organelles where the translation process occurs. They read the genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) and synthesize the corresponding amino acid sequence to form a polypeptide chain.


What organelle is used during translation?

Translation occurs in the ribosome not the nucleusTranslation takes place in the ribosomes.


Having membrane covered organelles a characteristic of what cells?

Eukaryotic cells have membrane-covered organelles, which compartmentalize cellular functions and allow for more complex and specialized processes to occur. This distinguishes them from prokaryotic cells, which lack membrane-bound organelles.


What it does in the cell cytoplasm?

A cells' cytoplasm is for it to contain all the organelles in the cell. Most cell activities occur here.


Where in the eukaryotic cell do replication transcription RNA processing translation each occur?

In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus. RNA polymerase II transcribes the DNA forming an mRNA transcript.The mRNA is then modified. It has a 5'-cap and a 3'polyA tail and it can also be spliced and edited by various enzymes. Once an mRNA molecule has been correctly edited it is exported out of the nucleus through nuclear pores. Once in the cytoplasm can be localized to different compartments of the cell, but most of the protein synthesis occurs on the rough ER.Here various translation factors help ribosomes to translate the DNA into protein. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm.Do not get this confused with prokaryotes. In prokaryotes, they do not have organelles and so transcription and translation are coupled in the cytoplasm... (they occur at the same time).

Where does translation occur in a plant cell?

Translation occurs in the ribosomes of a plant cell, specifically on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are the organelles where mRNA is read and proteins are synthesized from amino acids.


Translation occurs on what structures?

Translation occurs in the ribosomes, which are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles are responsible for the synthesis of proteins.


Can cellular metabolism occur within organelles?

Yes, cellular metabolism can occur within organelles. For example, cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria, while photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. Organelles provide specific environments for metabolic reactions to take place efficiently.


Where does gylcolysis occur?

In the cytoplasm (the goop in that fills cells outside of the organelles).


Where does protein synthesis translation occur?

In the cytoplasm


Where in the eukaryotic cell do replication transcription RNA processing and translation each occur?

In eukaryotic cells, you have a nucleus, whereas with prokaryotic cells you have none and you are missing some organelles found with the eukaryotes. Eukaryotes organelles are found within the cytoplasm.


What organelles is a gel-like substance where many biochemical reactions occur?

cytoplasm


What does ribsomalRNA do?

rRNA (ribossomal RNA) is an essential component of ribossomes (organelles that are the sites of translation from mRNA to polypeptide).


Where does translation occur for biology?

Outside the nucleus, in the cytoplasm.


Where does translation occure in prokaryotic?

In prokaryotes, the processes of transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, allowing for a rapid cellular response to an environmental cue.


What cellular organelles is the site of the translation of the genetic code of nucleic acids into the amino acid code of polypeptides?

Ribosomes are the cellular organelles where the translation process occurs. They read the genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) and synthesize the corresponding amino acid sequence to form a polypeptide chain.


Do the processes of transcription and translation occur in the same cellular structure?

No, transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm. In prokaryotic cells, both transcription and translation can occur in the cytoplasm due to the lack of a nuclear membrane.
