Answer: Another name for translation is protein synthesis.
Explanation: Translation is a biochemical process in which a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule is used to make a polypeptide chain (protein). Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosome where the ribosome binds to the mRNA strand and interpretes the codons in the mRNA into their corresponding amino acids. A tRNA brings the appropriate amino acid coded for in each codon and attaches it to the growing polypeptide chain.
The polypeptide chain produced undergoes other processes after translation to form proteins.
