DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The conversion of the information in mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up a specified protein
A
Transcription
B
Translation
C
Replication
D
Gene Expression
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of converting the mRNA ‘message’ into a sequence of amino acids is known as translation. The mRNA is decoded during the process of translation in which the ribosomes in the cytoplasm or the endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes the proteins in the cell’s nucleus after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translation 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-3: -A ribosome converts mRNA into a protein. A ribosome is an organelle that is found within the cell of an organism. The job of this organelle is to take the mRNA, or the code that comes from the transcription phase (i.e., the process of copying DNA), and form a peptide chain according to what the code describes.
