Detailed explanation-1: -Translation takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm, where mRNA is read and translated into the string of amino acid chains that make up the synthesized protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation is a highly regulated process that requires a cell organelle termed ribosome. RNA has proven to play a very important role during translation. Not only is mRNA a copy of the genetic information of DNA, the process of translation requires other RNA molecules such as transfer RNAs and ribosomal RNAs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Listen to pronunciation. (trans-LAY-shun) 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.
