whats is the relationship between DNA, codons. and, proteins?

Answer 1

It sounds like this question is highlighting what biologists call the Central Dogma of Biology, or the process used to turn DNA in the nucleus in proteins the cell can use. It involves two important steps transcription and translation.

During transcription, DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which can then leave the nucleus. mRNA is organized into units of three called CODONS, which helps the ribosomes read the mRNA more efficiently.

Once the mRNA is in the cytoplasm, it is found by a ribosome and translation begins. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid. As the ribosome reads each codon, it attaches the respective amino acid to the chain. This chain of amino acids is what becomes the PROTEIN.

So how are these three connected? They are ordered in the same process to create proteins from the coded DNA.
