Genes encode the instructions for producing proteins, which are crucial for various biological functions. They are segments of DNA that contain the information required for synthesizing proteins through a two-step process: transcription and translation. In transcription, DNA is converted to messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the genetic code to ribosomes, where translation occurs. In this process, the mRNA is read to assemble amino acids in the correct order, forming proteins. These proteins play vital roles in enzyme production, cellular structure, and metabolic processes.
