Term
| What are the steps in the protein synthesis process? |
|
Definition
| 1.DNA is broken down into RNA. 2. these bases are then changed into codons which are carried to the ribosomes through mRNA. 3.the codons are then produce anticodons to form the tRNA. 4.the tRNA then brings the amino acid that fits with the codons. 5. these amino acids are then put together to form proteins |
