Proteins are produced by stringing amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA strands that were transcribed from DNA in the cell nucleus. The process of synthesizing a protein is called translation, and it occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm of a cell.

Answer:

The sequence of bases in a DNA molecule can determine the order of amino acids in a protein molecule. Groups of three bases called triplets represent different amino acids. This is the basis of the genetic code . A sequence of bases (genetic information) on DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene .
