Biology - Protein synthesis

Protein synthesis

The genetic code [1] is 'written' in groups of 3 bases [2] (triplets or
codons [3]) in particular sequences. Each codon codes or a particular amino
acid. [4] Proteins are synthesised in 2 identifiable stages, transcription
[5] and translation. [6]

How do genes code for proteins? The flow diagram on the following page
summarises the process.
