Describe the process of Translation?

The ribosome will bind to the mRNA at a specific binding site. The ribosome will then start to match tRNA anticodon sequences to the mRNA codon sequence. Each time a new tRNA comes into the ribosome, the amino acid that it was carrying gets added to the polypeptide chain. This chain will keep on growing, until a stop codon is reached.
