1A.) Translation is the synthesis of a polypeptide using genetic information which is encoded in an mRNA (messenger RNA) molecule. The information which is encoded changes from molecules to amino acids. It also lines codons and anticodons and eventually makes tRNA (transfer RNA). Messenger RNA turns into transfer RNA during translation. The basic concept of translation is that molecules of mRNA are moved through a ribosome and codons are translated into amino acids. Transfer RNA molecules have anticodons at one end and another amino acid at the other end. The polypeptide chain grows because the tRNA adds its amino acids when the anticodon bonds to a codon on the mRNA. The codons complement each other and increase the size of the polypeptide chain. The molecules of tRNA are all unique and that uniqueness is an integral part of the process of translating the genetic message into an amino acid sequence since the tRNA links to a specific mRNA codon with a particular amino acid.
