The process by which proteins are synthesized within cells is known as:
protein synthesis
Protein synthesis is a two-step process consisting of transcription and translation. During transcription, the genetic code from DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). Then, during translation, the mRNA is read by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and amino acids are assembled into proteins according to the sequence specified by the mRNA.

The role of mRNA in protein synthesis is to:
Carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome
mRNA (messenger RNA) acts as a messenger that carries the genetic information copied from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, where protein synthesis takes place. The ribosome reads the sequence on the mRNA to assemble amino acids in the correct order to form a specific protein.

During translation, the role of tRNA (transfer RNA) is to:
Transports amino acids to the ribosome for protein assembly
tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids to the ribosome, where they match their anticodon with the corresponding codon on the mRNA sequence. This ensures that the amino acids are added in the correct order according to the genetic information encoded by mRNA, facilitating the assembly of the protein.
