Which Molecules are Involved in Translation

Question

Which molecules are involved in translation?
A) DNA and RNA
B) mDNA, tDNA, and rDNA
C) mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA
D) proteins, amino acids, and DNA

Accepted Answer

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA. During translation, mRNA codons are matched with the appropriate amino acids by tRNA molecules, which contain an anticodon that pairs with the codon on the mRNA. The amino acids carried by the tRNA are then linked together to form a polypeptide chain by ribosomes, which are composed of rRNA molecules and proteins. Therefore, the molecules involved in translation are mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.
