DNA is not directly involved in translation. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and does not involve the nucleus where DNA is located. mRNA serves as the template for translation, tRNA carries the amino acids to the ribosome, ribosomes are the site of translation, and GTP serves as an energy source for the process.
