Protien Synthesis DNA is our genetic material. Since DNA is stuck in the nucleus it has to get out somehow, but it can't, so what does it do then? The answer to that, is that DNA makes a copy of one of its helixs to get out of the nucleus. The process of DNA making a copy of itself is called transcription. The copy of the DNA is called mRNA and that is the messenger type of RNA. The DNA makes a copy of itself called mRNA, then gets out of the nucleus and leaves to attach itself onto a ribosome. The process of the mRNA attaching itself to the ribosome is called translation. The ribosome acts as a "Zipper" to attach the mRNA and the tRNA together. The tRNA is a transfer RNA that attaches to the mRNA to place amino acids in a specific order. The
