Question

Where does the second step of protein synthesis occur?

Answer 1

Answer:

The second step of protein synthesis is mRNA Translation (or just Translation). The mRNA Translation step follows right after the first step of protein synthesis called DNA Transcription (or just Transcription). During the transcription, the information encoded in the DNA is copied to a messenger RNA sequence (mRNA), which then can move through the nucleus membrane and can reach the ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The production of proteins happens during the second step of protein synthesis process – the Translation. Sometimes protein synthesis process is referred only to Translation step, because no actual protein synthesis happens during the Transcription. However transcription is responsible for moving the genetic instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where the DNA/RNA code is translated by the ribosomes to a polypeptide sequence, which will later be folded into a protein
