Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best describes the process of translation?
A
Translation occurs within he nucleus.
B
Translation involves copying a DNA strand.
C
An mRNA strand is produced by the process of translation.
D
A growing protein chain is produced by the process of translation.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation involves “decoding” a messenger RNA (mRNA) and using its information to build a polypeptide, or chain of amino acids. For most purposes, a polypeptide is basically just a protein (with the technical difference being that some large proteins are made up of several polypeptide chains).

Detailed explanation-2: -Translation refers to the processing of an mRNA script into a protein. This process utilizes ribosomes and tRNA. In translation, messenger RNA (which is produced by transcription from DNA) is decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Translation is the process in which protein is formed from RNA messenger. During translation, GTP molecule is needed in association of 30S-mRNA with formyl-met tRNA. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) produced by transcription from DNA is decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide.

Detailed explanation-5: -In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in a ribosome, outside the nucleus, to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide. The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell.
