first step
A copy is made of one side of the DNA segment where a particular gene is located. This copy is transferred to the cytoplasm.
second step?
This mirror like copy of a DNA segment is called messenger RNA (mRNA)
third step?
Each group of three bases on the mRNA segment codes for one amino acid.
fourth step?
The mRNA segment is fed through the ribosome.
fifth step?
Molecules of transfer RNA (tRNA) deliver amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome.
sixth step?
The amino acids are dropped off at the ribosome.
seventh step?
The amino acids are joined to make a protein. Usually, one protein is produced for each gene.
