Describe the production of protein molecules through transcription and translation.
This is an absolutely enormous subject. In very general, genentic information stored in DNA is transcribed into messenger mRNA which carries it to ribosomes. The ribosomes then assemble the proteins through translation. For more detail, see the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_%28genetics%29
there are several excellent videos on spongelab.com here is one that covers the basics well in under 5 minutes http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=41_Ne5mS2ls This is another great video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1fiJupfbSpg#! sometimes it helps to just see the process in action.
