Which of the following statements is incorrect about translation?

• A: Translation is a part of gene expression. This is true. Remember that transcription and translation together encompass gene expression. So translation is indeed a part of gene expression.
• B: Translation requires tRNA molecules as carriers of amino acids. That's true. Remember, our mRNA brings in our codon and tRNA brings in the anticodon so that it can carry an amino acid in for protein synthesis.
• C: A ribosome reads the genetic information from a DNA strand and synthesizes a protein. This is incorrect. The ribosome doesn't read the genetic information from a DNA strand, it does it from an mRNA strand.
• D: Ribosomes, the sites of protein synthesis, are located outside the nucleus in the cytosol. This is true. Remember when mRNA has been made and processed and after it's processed it leaves the nucleus of the cell to go into the cytosol so that it can connect with the ribosomes, which are also the sites of protein synthesis.

So here, the only option that is incorrect is option C. Ribosomes don't read DNA to synthesize protein. They read mRNA in order to synthesize protein.
