Narrator
Once upon a time there was a king than lived in the land of CELL. His castle was in the NUCLEUS of Cell. The king was powerful and held all the information to run the kingdom but he was not able to leave Nucleus. So the King hired a Messenger RNA that would copy King DNA’s information and take it out of the castle nucleus. Once the mRNA left the castle Nucleus it went straight to Ribosome with the information he had copied. Ribosome would read the information and call the transport RNAs to help him put the information together. Each RNAs would go and find the one amino acid and bring the Amino Acid back to the Ribosome. As each Amino acid was needed by the ribosome the tRNA would bring the amino acid to the ribosome then the Peptide Bond would attach the amino acids together to form a chain. Once the chain matched the information from the King DNA the chain was released to perform it function in the Land of Cell or the KINGDOM of BODY.
