-before a protein can be synthesized, the DNA information or code must first be copied or transcribed to a type of RNA called mRNA (messenger RNA). Bothe the codes in DNA and mRNA are carried as units called codons.
2. Translation
-in the ribosome, the code carried by the mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids that will form the protein molecule dictated by the DNA.

<span>In bacteria, DNA polymerase adds an incorrect base to a growing strand of DNA about once in every 100 000 bases added. The result is a mismatch such as the pairing of A with C.
