Transcripition Translation A step in protein biosynthesis wherein the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. The process follows transcription in which the DNA sequence is copied (or transcribed) into an mRNA. Animation: [] Synthesis Weblinks:1. [] 2.

 * RNA polymerase binds to DNA.
 * RNA polymerase transcribes a single strand of DNA into a single stranded RNA polymer called messenger RNA (mRNA).
 * RNA polymerase releases the mRNA polymer and detaches from the DNA.
