The expression of genes into proteins and is a process involving two stages called transcription and translation. In the transcription stage a strand of DNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of an [[RNA]] molecule called messenger RNA. In the case of RNAs that code for polypetides, this messenger [[RNA]] is then translated into proteins on [[Ribosome|ribosomes]]. | The expression of genes into proteins and is a process involving two stages called transcription and translation.
