Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which polypeptide chains of proteins that are specified by DNA assembled.
Introduction: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material of prokaryotes, archaea, eukaryotes, and some viruses. Proteins are major macromolecules made of several amino acid micro molecules and have a wide array of functions. The proteins are
