DNA gets split into single strands, It is then copied to form mRNA. The mRNA is then transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where the ribosome binds, reads the mRNA strand and tRNA's carrying amino acids are joined together.

The tRNAs bind due to their complimentary nucleotides, each amino acid has a triplicate of codons, all amino acids have different codons that all code for that amino acid.

As the amino acid chain grows from the ribosome the protein chain grows.
