Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that translation is a process in molecular biology where the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce a specific polypeptide or protein.
Recall that translation occurs in the ribosome, which facilitates the linking of amino acids in the order specified by the mRNA sequence.
Identify that during translation, tRNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome, where they are added to the growing polypeptide chain.
Recognize that the end product of translation is a polypeptide chain, which folds into a functional protein.
Conclude that proteins are the final product of the translation process, not DNA, mRNA, or free amino acids.
