STEP 1: A ribosome attaches itself to mRNA and begins reading the mRNA at the “start” codon
STEP 2: tRNA brings the amino acids that match the codons
STEP 3: the ribosome helps the amino acid bond and moves to make room for the next amino acid for the corresponding codon.
STEP 4: this continues until the ribosome reaches the “stop” codon and releases the mRNA along with the protein
