Translation is the process by which the nucleotide sequence of mRNA is used to direct the assembly of a polypeptide chain through the matching of mRNA codons to transfer RNAs (tRNAs) carrying amino acids. During translation, ribosomes use mRNA as a template to link amino acids together in the correct sequence specified by the mRNA.

2. Translation:
Translation is a second step of central dogma.
It involves a change in language of nucleotide order in
mRNA molecule to amino acid sequence in
polypeptide.
3. Transcription:
Transcription in which enzyme RNA polymerase
assemble an mRNA molecule on template DNA stand.
It nucleotide sequence is complementary to DNA
stand.
Translation:
Translation in which ribosome assemble a polypeptide
chain whose amino acid sequence is specified by the
nucleotide sequence in mRNA.
