DNA → mRNA → protein

DNA controls the production of protein in the cell.

Ribosome

mRNA (messenger RNA) is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Ribosomes are the cellular structures where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

The genetic code is a set of rules that defines how the sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA is translated into amino acids.

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

DNA is double-stranded and contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA is single-stranded and contains the sugar ribose.
