Answer:

Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. A few genes produce regulatory molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.

To build proteins, cells use a complex assembly of molecules called a ribosome. The ribosome assembles amino acids into the proper order and links them together via peptide bonds. This process, known as translation, creates a long string of amino acids called a polypeptide chain.

Explanation: Hope it helps you :)))))

Have a good day
