How does DNA code for proteins in a cell? SC.912.L.16.3

DNA is kind of like the "blueprint" for the creation of a protein. It holds all the information for the making of a protein cell

Explanation: mRNA is a copy of the DNA and this copy then leaves the nucleus, into the cytoplasm, and to the ribosomes where the mRNA is then translated by tRNA codons to turn it into amino acids, and these amino acids are then raveled up into a protein cell. You can't have a protein cell without your DNA.
