In _________,a ribosome assembles a polypeptide,whose amino acid sequence is specified by the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA (which itself is a copy of the template DNA).
A)transcription
B)translation
C)replication
D)synthesis

Question

Translation is the process where the ribosome reads the nucleotide sequence in the mRNA and assembles the corresponding amino acid sequence to form a polypeptide. Transcription is the process where the DNA sequence is copied to mRNA, replication is the process where DNA is duplicated, and synthesis is a broad term that could be used to describe various processes including transcription and translation, but it is not specific enough to be the best choice.
