Protein Synthesis
By: Laura Keller
Transcription• In Transcription, RNA
Polymerase unwinds a small portion of the DNA. Then, mRNA matches the bases of the DNA. The mRNA breaks away from the DNA and passes through the nuclear pores to get to the ribosomes.

Translation• In Translation, the mRNA comes
in contact with the ribosome. The ribosome will then read the mRNA and translate it. Then, tRNA anticodons are created for each codon. Each anticodon codes for a specific amino acid. The tRNA finds the correct amino acid and all the amino acids are strung together to form a protein.
