Detailed explanation-1: -In translation, the cell uses the genetic information contained in mRNA to make the proteins that carry out the cell’s work. The cell translates the code contained in the mRNA into a new language, the language of proteins, based on amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Molecules involved in translation Translation is a process where genetic information is translated from a “nucleic acid language” to an “amino acid language". Translation is catalyzed by a large enzyme called a ribosome, which contains proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template where the code in the DNA is converted into a complementary RNA code. Translation is the synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template where the code in the mRNA is converted into an amino acid sequence in a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biology, the process by which a cell makes proteins using the genetic information carried in messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA is made by copying DNA, and the information it carries tells the cell how to link amino acids together to form proteins.
