Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During ____ the tRNA uses information from mRNA to produce proteins.
A
Translation
B
Photosynthesis
C
Replication
D
Electron transport chain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mRNA is then pulled through the ribosome; as its codons encounter the ribosome’s active site, the mRNA nucleotide sequence is translated into an amino acid sequence using the tRNAs as adaptors to add each amino acid in the correct sequence to the end of the growing polypeptide chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Molecules of tRNA are responsible for matching amino acids with the appropriate codons in mRNA. Each tRNA molecule has two distinct ends, one of which binds to a specific amino acid, and the other which binds to the corresponding mRNA codon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA) is a small RNA molecule that plays a key role in protein synthesis. Transfer RNA serves as a link (or adaptor) between the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and the growing chain of amino acids that make up a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
