Protein Synthesis is usually a two-step process-
Step 1: Transcription- In this process using the code of a RNA nucleotide, a DNA sequence of a gene is re-written. This code of RNA needs to follow one more step and convert itself into messenger RNA
Step 2- Translation
The nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is converted into sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide or protein sub-unit
The cell recapture the three group of nucleotide called codon. The codon is the representation of amino acid.
For example-
The mRNA sequence is:
5'-AUGAUCUCGUAA-3'
This is coded sequence would be
3'-GTA GTC TUA TGG-5'
