First part of protein synthesis, DNA is used as a template to create messenger RNA (mRNA)
Translation
tRNA

Recombination (crossing over)
Gene expression
A gene (a sequence of nucleotides that codes for a protein which is made up of amino acids) is expressed when it is used as a template to build a protein (gene is read out & produced)
Protein synthesis
Process consisting of transcription and translation that converts genetic information from DNA to proteins which takes place outside the nucleus, in cytoplasm and requires RNA
Transcription: DNA is used as a template to create messenger RNA (mRNA)
Translation: mRNA is used as a template to create a sequence of amino acids. Transfer RNA (tRNA) assists the assembly of proteins
