Translation converts the information stored in RNA, a polypeptide.
What is translation?
After DNA is converted to RNA in the cell's nucleus, the process of translation happens when ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins.
Gene expression refers to the entire process.
In the process of translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded outside the nucleus in a ribosome to create a particular polypeptide or amino acid chain.
Later, after folding into a functioning protein, the polypeptide carries out its specific tasks within the cell.
By encouraging the binding of complementary tRNA anticodon sequences to mRNA codons, the ribosome makes decoding easier.
As the mRNA goes through and is "read" by the ribosome, the tRNAs transport particular amino acids that are strung together into a polypeptide.
