Polypeptide chains express gene traits.
Polypeptide chains express gene traits.

tRNA delivers the DNA to the ribosome.
tRNA delivers the DNA to the ribosome.

mRNA is translated into amino acids.
mRNA is translated into amino acids.

DNA is replicated into two daughter cells.

Answer 1

mRNA is translated into amino acids.

(Translation is the step where ribosomes read mRNA and, with tRNAs, assemble the amino acid chain.)
