What is the process called where RNA is decoded to form polypeptides?

The process where RNA is decoded to form polypeptides is known as translation. During translation, the messenger RNA (mRNA) that has been synthesized from DNA during transcription is read by a ribosome. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring specific amino acids to the ribosome in accordance with the sequence of codons on the mRNA. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, and the ribosome facilitates the linkage of these amino acids into a growing polypeptide chain, which eventually folds into a functional protein. This entire process is crucial for gene expression and is a fundamental step in the flow of genetic information from DNA to functional proteins.
