Answer explanation

Media Image

DNA is locked inside the nucleus. It hold the recipe for making a protein. It first makes a messenger called mRNA to get the code out of the nucleus. The mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to a ribosome (kitchen). The mRNA tells the cell what amino acids (ingredients) to string together to make the protein. The tRNA bring the amino acids in order. DNA --> RNA --> Protein
