Transcription
During Transcription DNA unzips in the nucleus into 2 individual strands. One strand is then copied from the previous DNA strand and all the thymine bases are replaced by uracil bases. This new singular strand is called mRNA which carries the insructions to making proteins. The mRNA then leaves the nucleous and travels to the cytoplasm to be used in the second step of protein synthesis.
Translation
In translation mRNA is made into tRNA anticodon which are transfer RNA. The tRNA attatches to specific amino acids based on the ordrer of the nitrogen bases. That is then transfered to the ribosome. There it begins to assemble the proteins needed for the organism to function.
