Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “translation begins with the codon of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and continues until a(n) __________________ codon is reached. Individual amino acids are brought to the ribosome by ___. These amino acids are linked into protein by bonds.”
Introduction:
There are three processes, namely replication, transcription, and translation that take place in the cell and helps in the continuity of the life. Translation is the final step of converting the mRNA into the amino acids, which forms the proteins. The transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules help in the amino acids generation.
