Explain how the triplet code of dna is transcribed and translated in the synthesis of proteins
Added by Susana H.
Step 1
Transcription: The process of transcription takes place in the nucleus of the cell. The DNA double helix is unwound by the enzyme RNA polymerase, which reads the DNA sequence and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule. The RNA molecule is made up of nucleotides, Show more…
