Protein Synthesis

• DNA carries genetic code to construct the protein.
• Messenger RNA (mRNA) copies the DNA code and carries genetic information out of the nucleus.
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) assembles proteins.
• Transfer DNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to ribosomes.
• DNA is the main instructions, and it cannot leave the nucleus, so we copy it. DNA is too big and valuable.
• Complementary bases from the bottom strand will look like the top strand. A=U and G=C.
