explain the role of the ribosome in translation?
hello aspirant
ribosomes are highly diverse protein structures found in cells . Protein is needed for many cell functions such as repairing damage or directing chemical processes. Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. ribosomes function is to manufacture proteins.they do this in a process called translation.which actually involves taking instructions encoded in messenger ribonucelic acid(MRNA)and using these to assemble proteins from amino acids.

Hello james,
Ribosomes are made up of rRNA.
It performs the following functions during translation.-
- The two ribosomal sub-units sandwich around the mRNA.
- It provides bing site for tRNA.
- With each triplet codon of mRNA moving through the ribosome, a specific tRNA with its own anticodon is recruited and a polypeptide is synthesized.
- When the ribosome encounters a stop codon, it dissociates and no more polypeptides are synthesized.
HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU
GOOD LUCK
