Episode Synopsis


Protein synthesis consists of transcription and translation. Transcription is the production of mRNA, which is basically a copy of the gene found in DNA. Thus, a transcript of the gene is made. Translation is where these codes in the mRNA are translated into the amino acids that make up proteins in the body.
