When mRNA exits the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm, it is indeed directed towards the ribosomes, where protein synthesis occurs. Ribosomes read the mRNA sequence in sets of three nucleotides, called codons, to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain. This process, known as translation, is essential for expressing the genetic information encoded in the mRNA. Additionally, the mRNA may undergo further modifications and interactions with various molecules before and during translation.
