Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which process involves the conversion of mRNA into a protein?
  • Step 1: Understand that mRNA is a type of molecule that carries genetic information from DNA.
  • Step 2: Know that the process of converting mRNA into a protein is called translation.
  • Step 3: During translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA is read in groups of three, called codons.
  • Step 4: Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, which are the building blocks of proteins.
  • Step 5: Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome, where translation occurs.
  • Step 6: The ribosome links the amino acids together in the order specified by the mRNA, forming a protein.
