I'm pretty sure it's called TRANSLATION
let's do a quick review: there are 4 different bases when it comes to DNA. If you recall it is Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Thymine). The way they appear determine the type of protein that will be made.
RNA bases are almost the same with the exception that there is no thymine. Uracil is used in place of thymine. So the bases for RNA are (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil)
Think of Translation as decoding RNA to make a protein. The mRNA is sent to the cytoplasm to be translated into a protein.
There are 3 steps of Translation:
1. mRNA goes to the cytoplasm and becomes rRNA. the transfer RNA (tRNA) carries an certain amino acid that is teamed up with mRNA. Base pair (A-U, G-C) and these bases determine the amino acid in a protein.
2. the ribosomes move along the messenger RNA while the transfer RNA moves it's amino acids to the protein chain that is growing, which creates a protein.
3. Finally, the ribosomes fall apart after they come in contact with a stop codon. A stop codon stops the translation of proteins. The stop codons signals the completion of translation.
Hopefully this helped and I tried to keep this in simple terms. It's super complex. Good luck.
