The document summarizes the process of protein synthesis. It describes how RNA polymerase unwinds DNA and copies it to mRNA. The mRNA strand then exits the nucleus through the nuclear pore and moves to ribosomes. At the ribosomes, the mRNA is read and translated to form a polypeptide chain of amino acids.

48. Verbal Summary
Protein synthesis is a complex process. First, it starts off with RNA polymerase
unzipping and copying half of a DNA strand. Then, the RNA strand leaves through
the nuclear pore. It is then moved to the ribosomes, where they synthesize and read
the strands and form a chain of amino acids. This chain is known as a polypeptide
chains.
