Translation is the process whereby mRNA is converted into proteins by ribosomes. Translation occurs in ribosomes, which are cellular structures made of proteins and ribosomal RNA …

During translation, a cell “reads” the information in a messenger RNA (mRNA) and uses it to build a protein. Actually, to be a little more techical, an mRNA doesn’t always encode—provide …

For a protein-coding gene, the RNA copy, or transcript, carries the information needed to build a polypeptide (protein or protein subunit). Eukaryotic transcripts need to go through some …

DNA replication and RNA transcription and translation Intro to gene expression (central dogma) The genetic code Translation

So this first step is the transcription, the DNA to messenger RNA, and then in a future video we'll dig a little bit deeper into translation. We will translate that information into an actual protein.

So, how does a cell know which of these protein to make? The start codon is the key signal. Because translation begins at the start codon and continues in successive groups of three, the …
