To see how cells make proteins, let's divide translation into three stages Initiation (starting off), elongation (adding on to the protein chain), and termination (finishing up). That's because transcription happens in the nucleus of human cells, while translation happens in the cytosol Also, in eukaryotes, rna molecules need to go through special processing steps before translation. Replication creates identical dna strands, while transcription converts dna into messenger rna (mrna) Translation then decodes mrna into amino acids, forming proteins essential for life functions.
Cells need translation to stay alive, and understanding how it works (so we can shut it down with antibiotics) can save us from bacterial infections Let's take a closer look at how translation happens, from the first step to the final product. Transcription and translation google classroom microsoft teams a sequence of rna is shown below: In this unit, we'll examine the nitty gritty of replication, transcription, and translation, and learn how seemingly small mutations can have a big impact on our lives. In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs in the nucleus, and translation occurs at the ribosomes in the cytoplasm In prokaryotic cells and bacterium, both transcription and translation happen in the cytoplasm, because these types of cells don't have nucleuses.
We will translate that information into an actual protein. Translation requires some specialized equipment Just as you wouldn't go to play tennis without your racket and ball, so a cell couldn't translate an mrna into a protein without two pieces of molecular gear
