Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The synthesis of a protein from an mRNA template is called ____
A
transcription
B
replication
C
translation
D
synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation is the process of synthesis of protein from RNA. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) produced by transcription is decoded by the ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide, that will later fold into an active protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Making proteins from mRNA is called translation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Protein synthesis is accomplished through a process called translation. After DNA is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule during transcription, the mRNA must be translated to produce a protein. In translation, mRNA along with transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomes work together to produce proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Translation occurs when a mature mRNA molecule is ‘read’ by a ribosome and used to synthesise a protein (with amino acids being brought to the ribosome by tRNA molecules). Hence, mRNA is the template for translation.
