Prediction: RNA determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins and polypeptides by a two-step process: transcription of DNA produces mRNA in the nucleus, then translation of the mRNA to tRNA takes place in the ribosome in the cytoplasm.

It should read: "You transcribed DNA to make mRNA and built a sequence of amino acids through translation at the ribosome with the help of tRNAs."
Brief clarification:
- Transcription (in eukaryotes) makes pre‑mRNA in the nucleus, which is processed to mature mRNA and exported to the cytoplasm.
- Translation is the ribosome reading mRNA codons; aminoacyl‑tRNAs with matching anticodons bring the correct amino acids, and the ribosome catalyzes peptide‑bond formation to grow the polypeptide chain.
- The genetic code (codons → amino acids) determines which amino acid each codon specifies.
