Translation: Translation is the second process of protein biosynthesis. In translation, messenger RNA is decoded to produce a specific polypeptide according to the rules specified by the genetic code.

Transcription: Transcription is the process through which a DNA sequence is enzymatically copied by an RNA polymerase to produce a complementary RNA. Or, in other words, the transfer of genetic information from DNA into RNA.

Transformation: A genetic alteration to a cell as a result of the incorporation of DNA from a genetically diferent cell or virus; can also refer to the introduction of DNA into bacterial cells for genetic manipulation.

Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP): An Internet protocol for communication between subnets, designed to function well even if part of the network is destroyed or malfunctioning.

Triplet: Three-base sequence of mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid or termination codon.
