During translation, mRNA is read in a series of 3
nucleotide bases known as CODON
These are recognized by tRNA which bring in the corresponding
Amino Acid that they code for.
The end result of translation is a Protein (Chain of amino acids)
We then walked through our translations models one last time using the following images and finished the class period off with our Daily Question Quiz.

 |
| First we started with a Ribosome, an mRNA, and some tRNA |
 |
| First up...... AUG which codes for Methionine... |
 |
| This is how I found Methionine |
 |
| Next up.. CUU - The methionine now forms a peptide bond with the next amino acid. Lets see what that one is |
 |
| CUU codes for Leucine (Leu) |
 |
| It keeps going until we hit UGA... Which codes for... |
 |
| STOP |
 |
| And the protein is released |
 |
| This was our final amino acid sequence |
