### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Central Dogma**: The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA (mRNA) and then to proteins. This process involves two main stages: transcription and translation. 2. **Role of Ribosomes in Protein Synthesis**: - Ribosomes are often referred to as the "protein factories" of the cell. They play a crucial role in the translation phase of protein synthesis. - Ribosomes are composed of two subunits (large and small) and can be found in both prokaryotic (70S ribosomes) and eukaryotic (80S ribosomes) cells. - During translation, ribosomes bind to the mRNA strand. They facilitate the decoding of the mRNA sequence into a polypeptide chain by bringing together the appropriate tRNA molecules that carry specific amino acids. ...
