The process of converting mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up a protein is called translation.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

* Transcription: DNA is transcribed into mRNA.

* Translation: The mRNA molecule is read by ribosomes, which use the genetic code to assemble a chain of amino acids in the order specified by the mRNA sequence. This chain of amino acids folds into a specific three-dimensional structure, forming a protein.
