<P> In translation , messenger RNA ( mRNA ) is decoded in a ribosome , outside the nucleus , to produce a specific amino acid chain , or polypeptide . The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell . The ribosome facilitates decoding by inducing the binding of complementary tRNA anticodon sequences to mRNA codons . The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide as the mRNA passes through and is `` read '' by the ribosome . </P>
