polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

The translation is the process during which the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is complementary to the template DNA strand.

The ribosomes move along the mRNA to read its sequence and the tRNA brings are amino acids to be added to the polypeptide chains.
