In eukaryotes, processing pre-mRNA to mRNA includes

Removal of introns from pre-mRNA

The process of translation is

The synthesis of a protein on a ribosome

The locus is

The location when the spindle attaches to the chromosome

A gene specifies

The cytosol

Individual small and large ribosomal subunits are assembled

In the nucleus

Anti-codons are found

On tRNA

The process of transcription is

The synthesis of RNA that is complementary to DNA

Ribosomal subunits are composed of

rRNA and specific proteins

Anti-codons are complementary to

mRNA codons
