And this is exactly what we mean by translation. So the ribosome is basically translate the language of the mRNA into the language of our protein and thereby synthesize our proteins by using our genetic code. Now, our process of translation can be broken down into three stages. We have the initiation stage, we have the elongation stage and the termination stage. In this lecture, we're only going to focus on our initiation stage. So once our precursor mRNA or pre RNA actually undergoes the proper post transcriptional modifications in the nucleus, it basically becomes the mRNA and it leaves the nucleus via the nuclear pores.
