Does RNA help make proteins

RNA is the code that determines what proteins will be made. RNA attaches to a ribosome where the complementary tRNA anti-codon bonds to the RNA codon ( A bonds to U and G bonds to C). The codon or anti-codon is only three base pairs long. Every tRNA has one of twenty amino acids attached and so therefor every RNA codon codes for a specific amino acid. The amino acids attach to each other forming a chain then fold and twist to create different proteins.
