What occurs during the translation process?
Transfer RNA is made from messenger RNA.
Copies of DNA molecules are made.
Messenger RNA is made from DNA.
The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins.
The correct answer is: The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins.
During the translation process, which occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, the messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as a template for the synthesis of a protein. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which are made from DNA, bind to specific amino acids and carry them to the ribosomes. The ribosomes read the codons on the mRNA and match them with the appropriate tRNA carrying the corresponding anticodons. This process continues until a polypeptide chain, which will eventually fold into a functional protein, is formed.
