Label:
Translation: mRNA to protein, 3D animation with basic narration
Description:
The yellow molecule is messanger RNA (mRNA); it leaves the nucleus; at the ribosome, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) binds to mRNA; transfer RNA or tRNA (in green) can read the three letter code on mRNA or codon; each codon codes for one animo acid (red molecule attached to tRNA); the sequence of codons on the mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein, which in turn determines the structure and function of the protein.
Biological elements:
mRNA, protein, messenger RNA, nucleus, tRNA, transfer RNA, ribosome, amino acid, codon
