DNA which produces a complementary mRNA strand from the coding DNA of a gene., The mRNA strand leaves the nucleus and travels towards the ribosome., Ribosome (site of protein synthesis)., The mRNA attaches to the ribosome (m=messenger)., Amino acids are transferred to the ribosome by tRNA, tRNA (t = transfer), Amino acid , Amino acids link to form a polypeptide which will then fold to produce specifically shaped protein such as an enzyme..
