Build the mRNA message

Inside the nucleus
RNA polymerase is reading the template strand

Pair one RNA nucleotide at a time

Drag or tap A, U, C or G into the highlighted position. mRNA is complementary to the DNA template and is built in the 5′ → 3′ direction.

A ribosome is reading the mRNA

Match each codon with the correct tRNA

The tRNA anticodon pairs with the mRNA codon and delivers its amino acid. The ribosome links the amino acids with peptide bonds.
