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.
