Translation is a process of protein creation from an RNA strand. This occurs the ribosome, a small organelle that can either be free in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Messenger RNA travels from the nucleus after transcription and attaches to the ribosome. Pools of tRNA, each attached to a specific amino acid will also be adjacent and will bind to a specific codon (3 nucleotide pattern of the RNA) as an anticodon. Peptide bonds form between the amino acids through condensation reactions. There are also several codons that do not relate to an individual amino acid, but instead, start or stop the translation to give a complete chain of protein, terminated at the right point. Interestingly, this process occurs in all living organisms and can be a good drug target in cancer and for antibiotics. It is a crucial step in the regulation of the cell. It is important to differentiate from transcription and replication, and comparisons are useful. This questions can also allow a demonstration of understanding: RNA, including differences in DNA; the fate of the produced protein and the regulation of protein production.
