Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In translation, the language of the bases is turned into the language of ____
A
proteins
B
amino acids
C
nucleic acids
D
nucleotides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of reading the mRNA code in the ribosome to make a protein is called translation (Figure below): the mRNA is translated from the language of nucleic acids (nucleotides) to the language of proteins (amino acids).

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer: Translation is the process of converting the language of nucleic acids (nucleotides) to the language of proteins (amino acids). The translation is the process in which the protein strand is produced from the mRNA molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm. The mRNA interacts with a specialized complex called a ribosome, which “reads” the sequence of mRNA nucleotides. Each sequence of three nucleotides, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid.
