Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What process is occurring when an mRNA is used to build a protein from a chain of amino acids?
A
Transcription
B
Translation
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This process is called protein synthesis, and it actually consists of two processes-transcription and translation . In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus . During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA ( mRNA ).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The process converting the mRNA message into a sequence of amino acids on the surface of ribosomes is termed translation.
