Explain the process of protein formation.

Step 1: Copy of one side of DNA strand is made (called mRNA, messenger RNA)

step 2: mRNA moves to cytoplasm, then ribosome

step 3: mRNA goes through ribosome 3 bases at a time

step 4: transfer RNA (tRNA) matches up with the open DNA bases

step 5: tRNA releases the amino acid at the top, which joins the chain of amino acids being produced
