DNA neverleaves the nucleus.Transcription: DNA is copied into mRNA, inside the nucleus.mRNA carries the message out to the cytoplasm.Translation: ribosomes read mRNA three bases at a time.Each three-base codon specifies one amino acid.Amino acids join into a chain, which folds into a protein.LOOK FOR ITA change of one base can change one amino acid — and sometimes thewhole protein's function.DNA → RNA → protein.
