Which of the following statements about translation is correct?
A
Ribosomes are not required for translation.
B
tRNA molecules are not involved in the translation process.
C
Translation involves the synthesis of proteins from mRNA.
D
Translation occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from messenger RNA (mRNA) in the cell.
Recognize that ribosomes are essential components of translation, as they facilitate the binding of mRNA and transfer RNA (tRNA) to synthesize proteins.
Acknowledge that tRNA molecules play a crucial role in translation by bringing the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome, matching their anticodons with the codons on the mRNA.
Identify that in eukaryotic cells, translation occurs in the cytoplasm, not in the nucleus. The mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus and then transported to the cytoplasm for translation.
Conclude that the correct statement is: Translation involves the synthesis of proteins from mRNA, as it accurately describes the process and location of translation in eukaryotic cells.
