Question

In the central theory of gene expression, what is the process that uses mrna and amino acids to make proteins called?

Answer 1

The first process is called transcription where the DNA's information is used to make mRNA. The second process is called translation where the tRNA comes with an amino acid to drop off. A chain of amino acids will eventually be formed to create a protein. Transcription comes before translation. Think that you have to script something before you can translate it.
