B. Proteins.

Protein synthesis (process includes transcription and translation):

      The DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) by mRNA in the nucleus then translated in ribosomes which will instruct tRNA to collect specific amino acids to bring back to the ribosome by reading 3 letters at once (called codon, and one codon codes for 1 amino acid). Those amino acids will attach to each other and when the sequence codes for stop, it stops, and a protein forms.
