Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Translation is a process in which protein is synthesize from after transcription of DNA into RNA. Protein synthesis occurs in nucleus of cell. Ribosome which is present in cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum is involves in protein synthesis. The process of protein synthesis is also known as gene expression.
