The process used by cells to convert mRNA "message" into a sequence of amino acids is? translation
In eurkaryotic cells, if you compared the DNA sequence with the sequence of the processed mRNA that was transcribed from the gene you would find what? the mRNA is shorter because it does not contain introns.
