What are the steps by which proteins are coded and synthesized?

The major steps of protein synthesis are:

1. Transcription

-before a protein can be synthesized, the DNA information or code must first be copied or transcribed to a type of RNA called mRNA (messenger RNA). Bothe the codes in DNA and mRNA are carried as units called codons.

2. Translation

-in the ribosome, the code carried by the mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids that will form the protein molecule dictated by the DNA.
