Protein Synthesis
is the process by which genetic information from the
DNA stored in the nucleus is transferred to the ribosomes where it is used to
arrange amino acids into proteins.
The DNA molecule in the nucleus is unzipped by an enzyme called
polymerase. From one of these single strands of a DNA molecule, a mRNA molecule
is built. This is accomplished by an enzyme which travels along a portion of DNA
