Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
mRNA is converted into a sequence of amino acids at ribosomes. This process is called:
A
transcription
B
transduction
C
translation
D
transformation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of converting the mRNA ‘message’ into a sequence of amino acids is known as translation. The mRNA is decoded during the process of translation in which the ribosomes in the cytoplasm or the endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes the proteins in the cell’s nucleus after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translation is the process that takes the information passed from DNA as messenger RNA and turns it into a series of amino acids bound together with peptide bonds. It is essentially a translation from one code (nucleotide sequence) to another code (amino acid sequence).

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation is the process of reading the mRNA code in the ribosome to make a protein. Sets of three bases on the mRNA, called codons, are read in order to select the correct amino acid for building a protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -The message is encoded in the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA, which is complementary to the nucleotide sequence of the DNA that served as a template for synthesizing the mRNA. Making proteins from mRNA is called translation.
