176. Summary
In short, by the processes of transcription and
translation, proteins are made. First, in transcription, RNA
polymerase is used to read a DNA strand and make a mRNA
copy. Once the mRNA strand moves from the nucleus to the
cytoplasm, the second process, or translation, occurs. In
translation, a ribosomes reads the mRNA strand, makes a tRNA
strand, and then makes the proper amino acids. Finally, when
the amino acids are all combined by peptide bonds and are
coiled and twisted together, a protein is made!
