Here's a breakdown of how it works:
* mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes.
* Ribosomes read the mRNA code and use it as a blueprint to assemble amino acids into a specific protein chain.
* tRNA (transfer RNA) brings the correct amino acids to the ribosomes based on the mRNA code.
This process, called translation, is a fundamental part of gene expression and essential for all cellular functions.
