Describe the process of protein synthesis, including: the gene remains in the nucleus, mRNA is a gene copy, mRNA is produced in the nucleus and moves to the cytoplasm, mRNA passes through ribosomes, and ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins, with the amino acid sequence determined by the mRNA base sequence (detailed knowledge of transcription or translation is not required).

Quick explanation

Describe the process of protein synthesis, including: the gene remains in the nucleus, mRNA is a gene copy, mRNA is produced in the nucleus and moves to the cytoplasm, mRNA passes through ribosomes, and ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins, with the amino acid sequence determined by the mRNA base sequence (detailed knowledge of transcription or translation is not required)

• This point belongs to Chromosomes, genes and proteins, especially Chromosomes, genes and proteins outcomes.
• You need to be able to describe the process of protein synthesis, including: the gene remains in the nucleus, mRNA is a gene copy, mRNA is produced in the nucleus and moves to the cytoplasm, mRNA passes through ribosomes, and ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins, with the amino acid sequence determined by the mRNA base sequence (detailed knowledge of transcription or translation is not required).
