Eukaryotes messenger ribonucleic acid translation

Protein translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from amino acids. This series of reactions translates the code provided to messenger ribonucleic acid or RNA (mRNA) by deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA into a sequence of amino acids that makes up the active protein molecule. Protein synthesis begins with a strand of mRNA synthesized in response to the genetic code located in a gene on a strand of DNA. The process of translation is slightly different in eukaryotic cells from that in prokaryotic cells for the sake of simplicity, translation in prokaryotes will be discussed here.
