Protein SynthesisBy Arden Braund and Riley Van-Houzen

TRANSCRIPTION

The first step to making a protein is transcription.

First: DNA unzips and RNA comes in and makes a copy of the DNA.

Then the RNA leaves and the DNA re-zips itself together again.

TRANSLATION

The 2nd step in making a protein is Translation.

The previous RNA is Messenger RNA or mRNA, this travels to the cytoplasm to the ribosome's.

Here transfer RNA or tRNA, a group of three nitrogen bases holding a amino acid matches up to their complimentary base and leaves leaving behind the amino acid, and a another group of nitrogen bases come and the process is repeated.
