"The process<span> by which mRNA directs </span>protein synthesis<span> with the assistance of tRNA is </span>called translation<span>. The ribosome is a very large complex of RNA and </span>protein<span>molecules. Each three-base stretch of mRNA (triplet) is </span>known as<span> a codon, and one codon contains the information for a specific amino acid." Credit to google </span>
