Gene expression begins with the transcription of DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus, where the genetic information is copied and processed. The mRNA then exits the nucleus and is translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where amino acids are assembled into polypeptides according to the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA.
