DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template is called ____
A
transcription
B
replication
C
translation
D
synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation is the process of synthesis of protein from RNA. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) produced by transcription is decoded by the ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide, that will later fold into an active protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Making proteins from mRNA is called translation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are synthesized from mRNA templates by a process that has been highly conserved throughout evolution (reviewed in Chapter 3). All mRNAs are read in the 5´ to 3´ direction, and polypeptide chains are synthesized from the amino to the carboxy terminus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are synthesized using mRNA as a template in a process called translation . The second process of central dogma is translation. It involves reading of genetic code to make a protein. Protein is synthesized by the combined action of tRNA and the ribosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protein synthesis is accomplished through a process called translation. After DNA is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule during transcription, the mRNA must be translated to produce a protein. In translation, mRNA along with transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomes work together to produce proteins.
