Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers translation, the process of protein synthesis from mRNA. It details the roles of ribosomes, mRNA, codons, and tRNA. The three steps of translation (initiation, elongation, termination) are explained, along with differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic translation. Finally, retroviruses and their unique reverse transcription process are discussed.
