Which Component Is Not Directly Involved in Translation?

During translation DNA is not directly involved in its process. DNA first gets transcribed to RNA to form the mRNA which then gets translated to form the amino acid chain.

What components are involved in translation?

Components of Translation
  • The key components required for translation are mRNA, ribosomes, and transfer RNA (tRNA).
  • During translation, mRNA nucleotide bases are read as codons of three bases. ...
  • A single amino acid may be coded for by more than one codon.

What are directly involved in translation?

Translation is catalyzed by a large enzyme called a ribosome, which contains proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Translation also involves specific RNA molecules called transfer RNA (t-RNA) which can bind to three basepair codons on a messenger RNA (mRNA) and also carry the appropriate amino acid encoded by the codon.
