traits.
DNA and RNA code for proteins through the process of protein synthesis. This process is illustrated to the left, and above. Each Gene is coded to manufacture a particular protein. The DNA is first transcribed into mRNA, otherwise known as Messenger Ribonucleic Acid. This is then transformed into tRNA, which is used to code for a particular protein's amino acid sequence. The process of taking this information from the tRNA to create a protein is called transcription. When a Ribosome has received all the necessary information for protein construction, it does this and BAM! You have a protein.
