The steps for protein synthesis in order are:
1. Copy of one side of DNA strand is made (called mRNA, messenger RNA)
2. mRNA moves to cytoplasm, then ribosome.
3. mRNA goes through ribosome 3 bases at a time.
4. transfer RNA (tRNA) matches up with the open DNA bases.
5. tRNA releases the amino acid at the top, which joins the chain of amino acids being produced.
It adds bases in only one direction.
