140 | PROTEIN SYNTHESIS OVERVIEW<br />
Conclusion<br />
This chapter focused on DNA, mRNA, <strong>and</strong> protein sequences. The next several chapters describe the processes<br />
that take place during protein synthesis. Master how sequences are read during protein synthesis (the focus<br />
of the current chapter) before moving on <strong>to</strong> the next chapter. Below are some sources <strong>to</strong> help further your<br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing!<br />
Example<br />
Check out Learn.Genetics’ “How a Firefly’s Tail Makes Light” video for an overview of protein<br />
synthesis!<br />
