Players in the protein game

Amino acids
Amino acids are players in the protein games because they are the materials used to make the proteins when the mRNA is read by the ribosome.

codons
The codon is part of transcription and translation because it is read to make proteins and the mRNA

chromosomes
Chromosomes are part of transcription because the section of them called genes is whats read to make mRNA.

cytoplasm
Translation takes place in the cytoplasm

DNA
DNA is what is read to make the mRNA so its related to transcription

genes
Genes are whats transcribed to make mRNA which helps make protein

mRNA
mRNA is what is read by the ribosome to make the proteins.

nucleus
Transcription takes place in the nucleus which is where the mRNA is made

proteins
proteins is the ultimate goal of all the other players in the protein game which is assembled at the ribosome by amino acids and tRNA and mRNA.

ribosomes
Its role is in translation because it forms over the mRNA to read codes and make new amino acids.

RNA polymurase
RNA polymurase is part of transcription because it codes for the mRNA

tRNA
tRNA is used to provide amino acids and combines with mRNA at the anticodon to know where to put them.
