Question

Which of the following processes does not take place during translation?

Options

• Attachment of a ribosome to mRNA.

• Binding of two tRNA molecules per ribosome.

• Liberation of polypeptide from the ribosome.

• Production of mRNA.

Answer 1

Production of mRNA.

Explanation:

The production of mRNA is part of transcription, not translation. Transcription happens inside the nucleus, where DNA is copied into mRNA. Once the mRNA is already made, it moves to the cytoplasm for translation, where the ribosome attaches to it, tRNAs bring amino acids, and the finished protein is finally released.
