<P> In molecular biology and genetics, translation is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus . The entire process is called gene expression . </P> <P> In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide . The polypeptide later folds into an active protein and performs its functions in the cell . The ribosome facilitates decoding by inducing the binding of complementary tRNA anticodon sequences to mRNA codons . The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide as the mRNA passes through and is "read" by the ribosome . </P>
