The correct answer is: Specific amino acid sequences are determined to create a protein.
Explanation: Translation is the process where the information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to create a specific sequence of amino acids, which then fold into proteins. This occurs in the ribosome, where tRNA molecules match their anticodons with the corresponding codons on the mRNA, bringing the appropriate amino acids to form a polypeptide chain. The other options provided relate to processes that occur in DNA replication or transcription, rather than translation.
