Translation is the ______.

Options

• transfer of the genetic code to a tRNA molecule

• transfer of the genetic code to an mRNA molecule

• transfer of the genetic code from an mRNA to a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide

• movement of mRNA through the nuclear membrane

Answer 1

Translation is the transfer of the genetic code from an mRNA to a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.

Explanation:

During translation, ribosomes read codons on the mRNA and tRNA molecules bring the matching amino acids, which are joined to form the polypeptide chain.
