A) translation.
B) transcription.
C) transduction.
D) transliteration.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translation is the process where ribosomes translate the information encoded in RNA (mRNA) to synthesize a specific protein. During translation, amino acids are brought to the ribosome by tRNA molecules and assembled in the correct order dictated by the sequence of the mRNA. This process is key in protein synthesis. The other options are not correct as Transcription is the process of copying DNA into RNA, Transduction is the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another through a bacteriophage, and transliteration is the process of converting one alphabetic script into another.
