A process known as protein synthesis. The mRNA must be transcribed in the nucleus using DNA as a template, then must be moved to the cytoplasm and to the ribosome where translation forms a protein. For more information, follow the related link below.
DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is then 'read' by ribosomes, which assemble the protein subunits by matching each three base pair segment of DNA to a specific amino acid. The protein then folds itself into a well-defined shape and does whatever it does.

The DNA template is read in the nucleus and transcribedonto messenger RNA (mRNA), which thens exits the nucleus through a nuclear pore. At a ribosome, the mRNA is translated by the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) into an amino acid chain through matching triplet codons of transfer RNA (tRNA) to the mRNA chain. Once the amino acid chain is complete, it is folded into its correct shape and is trimmed of excess loops and folds by enzymes to become a functional protein.
1) Transcription. The creation of a messenger RNA strand (mRNA) which has a complementary base sequence to the template strand of DNA (and therefore the same as the coding strand, with uracil replacing thymine)
2) Translation. The mRNA is decoded to produce a sequence of amino acids called a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chain makes up a protein.
First the DNA code is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The mRNA molecule attaches to a ribosome where translation will occur. During translation, transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome, where the anticodon on the tRNA pairs with its complementary mRNA codon, and the amino acid is attached to the protein chain in the correct location as it forms on the ribosome.
DNA does not turn into protein, it codes for amino acids which turn into protein
The steps and path is DNA, m-RNA, ribosome, ER, Golgi Apparatus and Transport vesicles.
The process is called Protein Synthesis.
Protein synthesis
The repository of genetic information that begins this sequence. DNA --> RNA--> Protein
Proteins are produced in all cells by protein synthesis. It requires the mRNA molecule produced from DNA in nucleus. Once it is transported to cytoplasm, ribosomes and tRNA molecules and enzymes will carry out protein synthesis.
The three main steps in the process of DNA replication are initiation, elongation and termination. Initiation is the beginning of the process. During elongation new DNA strands are formed and in termination replication ends.
The DNA molecules will have the instructions for the formation of amino acid which in turn forms the protein by a process called protein synthesis. It includes two steps called transcription and translation.
There is a few steps to making protein from DNA. The 1st step in the process would be termination.
I am looking for the answer my self!
Discuss/diagram the process from gene to protein. In other words, how do we build a protein based on a sequence of DNA?
The process by which DNA is made in a protein is called translation.
DNA to RNA to protein
Protein synthesis. The question is a bit misleading. DNA doesn't change into a protein, but it transcribes a messenger RNA which translates for a particular polypeptide sequence. DNA itself is unchanged throughout the process.
