So it's not the DNA but it's the RNA molecules that is directly involved in the process of translation in the process of protein synthesis. Now, the entire sequence of DNA of any organism including the genes as well as the non coding regions of our DNA is known as the genome. And only a small percentage of the genome actually consists of the coding regions of the regions of nucleotides that code for proteins. And that's exactly why we have to use these RNA molecules because the DNA molecules consist predominantly of non coding regions. So one reason why we use the process of transcription is to basically only transcribe the genes into our RNA molecules so that we don't have to worry about the non coding regions about the non coding regions that basically do not code for any protein. Now let's recall what the process of transcription is.
