Igcse Biology Notes 5

Protein synthesis involves two main processes: transcription and translation. During transcription, DNA instructions are copied into mRNA, which then exits the nucleus. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm where ribosomes convert mRNA into an amino acid sequence, forming proteins.

Synthesis Transcription & Translation


:

Protein synthesis is all about making the proteins required by the


body
in the cell 2
Proteins are made by a step process :

1↓ Transcription the instructions for building the proteins are all


contained within the DNA code (which is found in
the nucleus) .
However ,
it cannot leave the nucleus of the cell

So , of DNA
transcription is required to copy sections
into mRNA (small strands that can leave the nucleus) .

. Translation
2 occurs in the cytoplasm .

amino acid sequence which forms the protein
