Protein synthesis the process by which cells build proteins. There are major steps of protein synthesis referred to as Transcription & Translation.
Transcription is the process by which an mRNA template, carrying the sequence of the protein, is produced for the translation step from the genome. Transcription makes the template from one strand of the DNA double helix.
Protein translation involves the transfer of information from the mRNA into a peptide, composed of amino acids. This process is mediated by the ribosome, with the adaptation of the RNA sequence into amino acids mediated by transfer RNA.
But basically, DNA is located in the nucleus. And because it is too large to leave the nucleus and enter the cytoplasm (where protein synthesis occurs) it needs to make a "copy" that is small enough to leave. This copy is mRNA. An enzyme called Heliocase comes in and seperates the two strands of DNA, then next another enzyme called RNA polymerase comes in and copies one strand of the seperated DNA. Once all information is coded for, the mRNA strand is seperated from the DNA strand and leaves the nucleus to enter the cystoplasm for protein synthesis.
Once in the cytoplasm, mRNA is decoded by tRNA to form an amino acid chain, or protein.
I hope this helps! Best of Luck!

extensive sort six is CGAATGCCTTGACAA extensive sort 2 is a base (Thymine (Uracil in RNA), Guanine, Cytosine, and Adenine. A phosphate group and deoxyribose for DNA or ribose for RNA. (in case you seem heavily the respond to 2 of your different questions are in right here) somebody else CAN answer something or maybe you're able to do your guy or woman HOMEWORK AND interpreting
