DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the overall process of making proteins?
A
Mitosis
B
replication
C
protein synthesis
D
substitution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein synthesis(translation) is the production of a polymer of a chain of amino acids which produces a functioning protein. It involves reading the information from mRNA (messenger RNA) to put together a chain of amino acids. Ribosomes are the structures that synthesize the protein chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protein synthesis is the process in which cells make proteins. It occurs in two stages: transcription and translation. Transcription is the transfer of genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA in the nucleus. It includes three steps: initiation, elongation, and termination.

Detailed explanation-3: -In order for a cell to manufacture these proteins, specific genes within its DNA must first be transcribed into molecules of mRNA; then, these transcripts must be translated into chains of amino acids, which later fold into fully functional proteins.
