Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation: Translation is the process by which the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain, which forms a protein.
Identify the role of mRNA: mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where translation occurs.
Recognize the components involved in translation: Translation involves mRNA, ribosomes, tRNA (transfer RNA), and amino acids.
Determine the end product of translation: The sequence of amino acids formed during translation results in a polypeptide chain, which folds into a functional protein.
Clarify the options given: Among the options provided (Protein, DNA, Carbohydrate, RNA), the correct molecule produced by translation is a protein.
