In molecular biology and genetics, translation is the process in which cellular ribosomes create proteins. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) âproduced by transcription from DNA âis decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide.The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell.n translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) âproduced by transcription from DNA âis decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide. The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell.
Translation. The mRNA formed in transcription is transported out of the nucleus, into the cytoplasm, to the ribosome (the cell's protein synthesis factory). Here, it directs protein synthesis. Messenger RNA is not directly involved in protein synthesis â transfer RNA (tRNA) is required for this.The process by which mRNA directs protein synthesis with the assistance of tRNA is called translation.ere, it directs protein synthesis.
