| Translation is the key process of making a protein from the genetic code expressed in the DNA. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded to produce a specific polypeptide according to the rules specified by the genetic code. This uses an mRNA sequence as a template to guide the synthesis of a chain of amino acids that form a protein. This simulation demonstrates this. |
