Q: What is the function of ribosomes in the process of translation?
Solution:
Ribosomes serve as the site of protein synthesis, where mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Ribosomes are small structures found in cells.
Step 2: They read the messenger RNA (mRNA) which carries the genetic information from DNA.
Step 3: The ribosome uses the information on the mRNA to assemble amino acids in the correct order.
Step 4: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Step 5: As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, it links the amino acids together to form a polypeptide chain.
Step 6: This polypeptide chain will eventually fold into a functional protein.
