Through a process called translation. The mRNA travels from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and binds to a ribosome. The sequence of 3 nucleotides in the mRNA correspond to a certain amino acid that binds to the top of the ribosome and then the mRNA keeps getting read, 3 nucleotides at a time, until there are 20 amino acids binded together. The ribosome then lets the protein go.
