to understand it let me take you inside a cell's nucleus Crick proposed that the information inside DNA was in fact a precise set of instructions instructions which specify the exact order to join up amino acids to make the proteins in our cells the way the cell carries out these instructions is spectacular each time the cell needs to make a particular protein the instructions are copied from part of the DNA strand to a new molecule called RNA the RNA carries the instructions for building the protein out of the cell nucleus heading for this structure called a
ribosome this is basic basically the cell's protein factory as the ribosome Works its way along the RNA strand it reads the instructions and these tell it which amino acids to join together and in which order to make the specific protein there it is a protein and just think the cell builds proteins thousand thousands of times a minute to stay alive
