what is the specific site of translation? ribosome nucleus cytoplasm mitochondria rewatch next question
Translation in biology is the process of protein - synthesis where the genetic information carried by mRNA is used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Ribosomes are the molecular machines that read the mRNA sequence and link amino acids together to form polypeptides, making them the specific site of translation. The nucleus is mainly for transcription (DNA - to - mRNA synthesis), the cytoplasm is the general location where ribosomes are found but not the specific site, and mitochondria are involved in energy production (ATP synthesis).
