Here's a breakdown:
* DNA: Contains the genetic code for all the proteins a cell needs.
* mRNA: A copy of a specific gene's DNA sequence, created through a process called transcription. It carries this genetic message from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
* Ribosomes: Cellular structures where protein synthesis takes place.
* Translation: The process where the mRNA code is read by ribosomes, and amino acids are linked together to form a protein.
