Describe Translation and Protein Assembly Practice Test

The ribosome reads the mRNA one base at a time, and each base directly specifies one amino acid to add.

tRNA molecules match their anticodons to mRNA codons at the ribosome and deliver amino acids that the ribosome links into a chain.

The ribosome copies the DNA code to make a complementary mRNA strand in the nucleus.

tRNA molecules bring nucleotides to the ribosome, where they are joined to form a new mRNA strand.
