What is the process of protein synthesis?
RNA polymerase unzips DNA
A template is taken from the DNA and leaves the nucleus as mRNA (messenger RNA)
The template is used to guide protein synthesis on ribosomes located within the cytoplasm
specific amino acids are delivered by carrier molecules (tRNA) to the protein chain, where they are added in the order shown in the template.
once complete, the long protein chain folds up, giving It a unique structure
