Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
mRNA is read into amino acids during what process?
A
transcription
B
transfer
C
translation
D
transition
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation, as related to genomics, is the process through which information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the addition of amino acids during protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence.

Detailed explanation-3: -In translation, the codons of an mRNA are read in order (from the 5’ end to the 3’ end) by molecules called transfer RNAs, or tRNAs. Each tRNA has an anticodon, a set of three nucleotides that binds to a matching mRNA codon through base pairing.
