Does this paragraph explain how a piece of DNA makes protein?First, the DNA (in the nucleus) turns into an RNA piece (this process is called transcription). Then the RNA turns into mRNA (this process is called splicing). After this, the mRNA moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm. The mRNA then meets the ribosome to use the tRNA and Amino acid (this process is called translation). Then the Amino acids connects and fold into a shape, which is the protein.

Answer

Yes, this paragraph explain protein synthesis

Step-by-step explanation

Just to summarize the process:

Step 1: DNA is transferred to messanger RNA (mRNA) by process called transcription

Step 2: During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, this results in single stranded copy of a gene.

Step 3: The single stranded gene is from mRNA then moves out of the nucleus, it sits on the ribosome of the cytoplasm, where it gets translated by transfer RNA (tRNA), this process is called translation, and it results in formation of proteins
