Final answer:

The statement comparing translation to chess piece movements based on game rules is false. Translation is a biological process for protein synthesis, governed by genetic code, not strategy-based like chess.

Step-by-step explanation:

In biology, translation is the process in living cells in which proteins are produced using RNA molecules as templates. The generated protein is a sequence of amino acids. This sequence is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA. The nucleotides are considered three at a time. Each such triple results in addition of one specific amino acid to the protein being generated. The matching from nucleotide triple to amino acid is called the genetic code. The translation is performed by a large complex of functional RNA and proteins called ribosomes. The entire process is called gene expression.

The statement 'Translation is like the player's movement of the chess pieces in the game informed by the rules of the game.' is false. Translation, in biological terms, refers to the process by which the genetic code on a strand of mRNA is read by a ribosome to synthesize a specific protein. This is a precise biochemical process dictated by codon sequences, which is not analogous to the strategic and variable movements of chess pieces that are informed by the rules of the game. The rules in chess are indeed strict and prevent any movement outside those that are allowed, but players may employ various strategies within the confines of these rules, which is unlike the regimented process of translation.
