In the process for coding for proteins DNA is needed to be able to break out of the nucleus to get to the ribosomes so it can begin to code for proteins. To do this DNA copies one strand of its double helix to the RNA, this is called transcription, you would use mRNA (messenger). Next the ribosome will then transfer or tRNA to the cytoplasm, this helps bring all the thing essential to make the protein together. While in the cytoplasm the protein is synthesized through various chemical reactions.
** Remember that C (Cytosine) pairs with G (Guanine) and A (Adenine) pair with T (Thymine) unless its RNA then it pairs with U (Uracil)
