Translation and Transcription

The Central dogma is the process of making proteins. The steps involved are
transcription and translation. The RNA polymerase which is an enzyme, grabs the DNA and
creates an mRNA by transcribing the code. Guanine is equal to cytosine. Thymine is equal to
Adenine. Since the mRNA cannot detect adenine, it changes is to Uracil. This occurs in the
nucleus. Once mRNA is formed in the Nucleus, it leaves through holes known as nuclear pores.
It goes to the cytoplasm where it creates a chain as the tRNA. The anticodon binds codon on
tRNA to rRNA. Then there are three letter codes for an amino acid.
