The instructions for protein production are found in the DNA (in the nucleus). This is transcribed (copied) to mRNA, which transports the instructions out of the nucleus to the ribosomes.

Translation occurs at the ribosomes. The mRNA is read 3 bases at a time (this is the codon) and matched up with an anti-codon to add the correct amino acid. This chain of amino acids is a protein.
