How does our body make protein?

I This copy - mRNA - travels from the nucleus of the cell to the part of the cell known as the cytoplasm, which houses ribosomes. Ribosomes are complex machinery in the cells that are responsible for making proteins.
II. The cell then expresses the protein and it, in turn, carries out its designated function in the cell on the body.
III.Through a process known as transcription, an RNA copy of a DNA sequence for creating a given protein is made.
IV. Then, through another process known as translation, ribosomes 'read' the mRNA, and follow the instructions, creating the protein step by step
