Struggling to understand translation? Presented here is a simple model that a student can build at home and use to understand better how translation occurs in a cell. Each step is explained by notes and diagrams. The notes next to each diagram of the model use specific terminology required to score in the exams.

Components required for translation:

(1) mRNA carrying codons which encode sequence in
which amino acids should be joined.

(2) tRNA which carry specific amino acids at one end
and an anticodon at the other.

(3) Ribosome which is the organelle that facilitates the
linkage of anti-codons to codons and also facilitates
peptide bond formation. They act as enzymes
controlling the process of protein synthesis.
