Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes have two main functions-decoding the message and the formation of peptide bonds. These two activities reside in two large ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) of unequal size, the ribosomal subunits. Each subunit is made of one or more ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and many ribosomal proteins (r-proteins).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Ribosome’s Function: Three Stages. Ribosomes help in producing new proteins by the translational process that involves three stages: initiation, elongation and termination.
