sequence of bases in mRNA specifies the order of amino acids in a protein
Translation -
process by which a molecule of mRNA is used to guide the synthesis of protein

Ribosomes ensure mRNA is read in codons physically separated by as mRNA comes off DNA

translation into proper protein only occurs if translated into proper reading frame
tRNA +RNA translates each codon into lamino acid
