The process of making a protein using mRNA is called translation.

Here's a breakdown:

* mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosomes, which are the protein-making machinery of the cell.

* Translation is the process where the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and uses it to assemble amino acids into a specific protein chain.

So, the entire process from DNA to protein involves two main steps:

1. Transcription: DNA is copied into mRNA.

2. Translation: mRNA is used to build a protein.
