What is the process of converting mRNA into a protein called?
Correct Answer: translation
  • Step 1: Understand that mRNA is a type of molecule that carries genetic information from DNA.
  • Step 2: Know that the process of making a protein from mRNA is called translation.
  • Step 3: Recognize that translation occurs in the ribosome, which is a part of the cell.
  • Step 4: Learn that during translation, the ribosome reads the sequence of mRNA.
