DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Translation is crucial to the process of making proteins. Which statement best describes what takes place during translation?
A
A copy of chromosomal DNA is created
B
Information in mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids thus making a protein
C
A RNA copy of a DNA strand is made.
D
Instructions from DNA in the nucleus are brought to the cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation 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 crucial to the process of making proteins. Which statement best describes what takes place during translation? Information in mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids in a protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. The genes in DNA encode protein molecules, which are the “workhorses” of the cell, carrying out all the functions necessary for life.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation requires the input of an mRNA template, ribosomes, tRNAs, and various enzymatic factors.
