Protein synthesis is a vital process in cells where proteins are made based on genetic information.
Description
Protein Synthesis Process
The gene remains in the nucleus. A copy of the gene called mRNA is produced in the nucleus. The mRNA moves to the cytoplasm and passes through ribosomes. Ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins, with the amino acid sequence determined by the mRNA base sequence.
