Translation
Definition
as a molicule of Mrna is moved through a ribosome, codons are translated into amino acids one by one. The interpreters tRNA each with a specific anticodon at one end and corresponding amino acid at the other. A trna adds its amino acid cargo to a growing polypeptide chain when the anticodon bonds to a complementary codon on the mRNA.
