| What instructs Amino acids to create protein? | DNA |
| Where do Amino Acids live? | Inside the cytoplasm |
| How does DNA interact with the cytoplasm? | RNA creates a partial copy of the DNA which are only one strand, this makes them small enough to slip through the pores of the nucleus. |
| Where does the RNA go after leaving the nucleus? | Into a particle - the Ribosome, which reads RNA 3 letters at a time. |
| What does the Ribosome do after reading 3 letters of RNA? | It sucks amino acids from the surrounding and puts them together to build the protein. |
| What do the three letters of RNA do? | Tell the ribosome what combination to create for a specific protein, |
| What is the sequence of creation of life? | DNA creates RNA which tells a Ribosome how to create a protein, and protein creates life. |
