RNA to Proteins (Occurs on Ribosomes in Cytoplasm):
 * 1) Initiation: Initiation begins when small Ribosomal subunit attaches to the 5’ end of the mRNA on the initiation site. (start codon = AUG). Then tRNA carries the first amino acid METHIONINE (MET), which is an anti codon to AUG. Then the large ribosomal subunit attached to the small ribosomal subunit to create the P SITE AND A SITE.
 * 2) Elongation: The first amino acid in the P-Site moves to the A- Site and the empty tRNA detaches. The A- site  receives a growing amino acid chain. The next tRNA’s in line bring their own amino acid that their anti codon codes for as well as receiving the past ones and like this the chain gets bigger. Released tRNA are recycled and bring in new amino acids.
 * 3) Termination: The ribosome moves along the mRNA elongating the amino acid chain until a stop codon is reached.
