Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translation is the process by which the genetic information present in mRNA is converted into the language of proteins. During translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA is read in groups of three (called codons) by tRNA molecules carrying specific amino acids. The amino acids are then linked together to form a polypeptide chain that folds into a functional protein. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B describes transcription, not translation. Option C is incorrect as proteins are not converted into enzymes during translation. Option D describes DNA replication, which is a different process altogether.
