Central Dogma: Transcription & Translation

DNA is transcribed (copied) into mRNA
mRNA is translated (read) by the ribosome
Ribosome assembles the protein with the help of tRNA that carries the amino acids

Tutorial Go to Learn Genetics to learn more about the Central Dogma

Use the tutorial to complete the bottom flap. Then check your work below. Make sure you color the bottom flap.
