DNA is unwound during transcription to expose genetic instructions that are copied into mRNA. The mRNA then exits the nucleus through a nuclear pore complex and attaches to a ribosome, where the mRNA's nucleic acid language is translated into a chain of amino acids based on its nucleic acid sequence, forming a protein determined by the amino acid arrangement.

Transcription & Translation
Transcription • DNA is unwound to expose the genetic instructions.
Transcription • The instructions are copied in order to form mRNA.
Translation • The newly created RNA strand travels through a Nuclear Pore Complex out of the Nucleus.
Translation • Outside of the Nucleus, the RNA strand attaches itself to a Ribosome. • Here, the language of Nucleic Acids is translated into the language of Amino Acids (Proteins). Ribosome mRNA
Translation • Inside the Ribosome, a tRNA assembly line builds a chain of Amino Acids, based specifically on the chain of Nucleic Acids that are attached to the RNA strand. • The Amino Acids are linked into long chains. Their arrangement determines the type of protein they will form. Chain of Amino Acids
