process, in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm / endoplasmatic reticulum synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell´s nucleus

entire process is called gene expression

mRNA is decoded in a ribosome, outside the nucleus, to produce a specific amino acid chain or polypeptide

mRNA: carries code, ribosome attaches itself

tRNA: carries one amino acid and sticks to the nucleotide triplett ribosomes consist of rRNA and proteins, amino acids are merged to peptides
