So let's talk about translation and some of the components that are directly involved in it.
00:07
So to recap the central dogma biology, this is going to state that dna is converted to rna, which is converted to protein.
00:19
And then dna can also self -replicate.
00:21
So dna is transcribed into rna, and rna is translated into protein.
00:34
So if we were to look at this in the cell, here's our nucleus, and we've always got our dna in the cell.
00:39
The nucleus and that's going to be transcribed into rna specifically messenger rna.
00:48
So here we can write transcription and then this messenger rna is now able to leave the nucleus and it's able to go out into the cytoplasm.
00:59
And that's important because the ribosomes, which are actually the machinery making the protein are in the cytoplasm.
01:05
They're not in the nucleus.
01:07
So the mrna goes into the cytoplasm and it runs into these ribosomes.
01:13
And here's a little mrna strand.
01:15
And the ribosome is going to read the codons of the mrna and create single amino acids that are eventually going to form a protein.
01:27
So in this example, right here is translation, the conversion of rna to protein, which right here would be our protein.
01:38
It's single amino acids, and they bind together, and they form a protein...
