The first stage of protein synthesis is called transcription.

This involves using basis to make a strand

RNA. an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in front of a gene in a non coding
region. The enzyme then separates the DNA strands. the enzyme now moves along one strand
adding complementary RNA nucleotides. These complementary base pairs are the same accept
uracil replaces thymine which pairs with adenine. The second stage of protein synthesis is called
translation which the bases are red three at a time( a codon). the mRNA strand attaches to a
ribosome in the cytoplasm. The tRNA recognises the correct corresponding codon it binds with the
other codon. when this happens the tRNA transfers the appropriate amino acid to the end of the
amino acid chain. as a represents move along it joins the amino acids from the tRNA together
forming a polypeptide( a chain of amino acids). The polypeptide chain made up of amino acids then
folds up to form a protein with a specific shape
