Answer:

The correct answer will be translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ribosomes are cell organelles present either in cytoplasm or attached to endoplasmic reticulum in protoplasm of a cell.

They are involved in the process of translation or the synthesis of protein by translating the coded information of mRNA into amino acids to form proteins. So, they are also known as translators of cell.

Protein synthesis starts during the initiation phase of translation after reading start codon (AUG). Translation terminates when ribosome reaches any of the stop codons that is UGA, UAA, and UAG at 3'-end the synthesized polypeptide will dissociate from the ribosome.

Thus, translation will be the correct answer.
