Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced.
A
Translation
B
transcription
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During translation, ribosomal subunits assemble together like a sandwich on the strand of mRNA, where they proceed to attract tRNA molecules tethered to amino acids (circles). A long chain of amino acids emerges as the ribosome decodes the mRNA sequence into a polypeptide, or a new protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -mRNA translation is a ubiquitous process seen in almost all biological systems. In this process, the genetic codons are translated from mRNA to protein by ribosome translocation, after the genetic information contained in DNA is transcribed to the mRNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.

Detailed explanation-4: -Once mRNAs enter the cytoplasm, they are translated, stored for later translation, or degraded. mRNAs that are initially translated may later be temporarily translationally repressed. All mRNAs are ultimately degraded at a defined rate.
