Which statement is NOT true of protein synthesis?

D)Translation is the copying of mRNA by tRNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translation is not the copying of mRNA by tRNA. Rather, it is the process by which the code carried by mRNA is decoded to assemble a protein with a specific amino acid sequence. During translation, tRNA molecules play an important role in bringing the correct amino acids to the ribosome based on the codons in the mRNA.
