Question

during which process is mrna converted into a sequence of amino acids for protein production? mrna synthesis translation transcription translocation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• mRNA synthesis: Involves creating mRNA, not converting it to amino acids.
• Translation: In protein synthesis, translation is the process where mRNA is used to assemble a sequence of amino acids (polypeptide chain) with the help of ribosomes and tRNA.
• Transcription: Is the process of making mRNA from DNA, not converting mRNA to amino acids.
• Translocation: Refers to movement (e.g., of ribosomes or chromosomes), not related to converting mRNA to amino acids.

Answer:

translation (the option labeled "translation")
