Expert Solution

Step 1

Protein synthesis is a biological process occurring following transcription and translation of genes in the cell. Proteins are biomolecules formed from many amino acids attached to each other via peptide bonds.

Transcription is the process in which the information present on the DNA (gene) is transferred on to a newly formed molecule of RNA (messenger RNA). It occurs both in prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes.

Translation is the process during which a polypeptide is synthesized. In this process transfer RNA (tRNA) carries complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to the ribosome to form an amino acid which eventually forms a polypeptide (protein).
