6-step animation. Step 1: 'mRNA exits the nucleus through nuclear pores and attaches to a RIBOSOME in the cytoplasm.' Step 2: 'INITIATION - Ribosome finds the START codon (AUG) on the mRNA. This always codes for methionine, the first amino acid.' Step 3: 'tRNA DELIVERY - Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule
