Translation
Translation explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to assemble a piece of flat-pack furniture using only the instruction manual. Just as you decode the instructions to understand which parts fit where, cells decode mRNA to determine the sequence of amino acids that will form a protein. In this analogy, the instruction manual is like the mRNA, the assembly steps are like the decoding process, and the completed furniture is like the finished protein, illustrating how decoding information leads to constructing a final product.
Practice Version
Translation: The process by which mRNA is decoded into the amino acid sequence of a protein. Translation. Translation is when cells read the instructions in mRNA to build proteins.
