The video tutorial explains the process of translation, focusing on how DNA is transcribed into RNA, which then serves as a template for protein synthesis. It covers the structure and function of ribosomes, the role of different types of RNA, and the interaction between codons and anticodons. The tutorial also discusses the formation of polypeptide chains and the recycling of tRNA molecules.
