Here's a breakdown:
* DNA contains the genetic code, but it stays safely within the nucleus.
* mRNA is a copy of a specific gene from the DNA.
* This copy is made through a process called transcription.
* The mRNA then travels out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, where it finds ribosomes.
* Ribosomes are the protein-making machinery of the cell.
* The mRNA sequence instructs the ribosomes to assemble a specific protein based on the genetic code it carries.
This process of converting DNA information into proteins is called translation.
