Verbal SummaryProtein synthesis is a complex process. First, it starts off with RNA

polymerase unzipping and copying half of a DNA strand. Then, the RNA strand leaves through the nuclear pore. It is then moved to the ribosomes, where they synthesize and read the strands and form a chain of amino acids. This chain is known as a polypeptide chains.
