1. Protein Synthesis Lecture 5

3. What happens during the process of transcription?
Transcription is the synthesis of an RNA strand from a DNA template.
A gene's protein building instructions are transcribed to messenger RNA (mRNA).
mRNA carries the code from DNA to the ribosomes where translation into a protein occurs.

5. What happens during the process of translation?
Messenger RNA is made from DNA.
The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins.
Transfer RNA is made from messenger RNA
Copies of DNA molecules are made.
