Answer: Translation

Explanation: Translation is a process in which the genetic information encoded in an mRNA molecule is used to make proteins. Translation occurs in the ribosome. The mRNA contains codons which codes for particular amino acids. These codons are read by the ribosome one at a time while the transfer RNA fetches the corresponding amino acid and attaches it to the growing polypeptide chain. Amino acids are monomeric units of proteins. The amino acids sequence produced undergoes some modifications and packaging to form protein.
