The video explains how DNA codes for proteins by arranging bases in sequences that correspond to specific amino acids. The process of protein synthesis begins in the nucleus, where a gene template is created and then moves to the ribosome. Carrier molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome, where they are assembled into a protein chain. The chain folds into a unique shape, allowing the protein to perform its function. Examples include enzymes, hormones, and structural proteins.
