In order for a genetic message to be translated correctly,
the tRNA attaching to the mRNA codon describing a specific

amino acid, must bring only that amino acid to the ribosome.
Moreover, every amino acid brought to the ribosome by the tR-
NA must be processed in the exact location in the production
line as is designated by the mRNA.
If a single amino acid is processed in the wrong order dur-
ing the synthesis, protein likely will be completely useless. How-

ever, this process normally takes place flawlessly in all the body’s
cells. Every amino acid brought by every tRNA is taken into the
ribosome in the specified order. And the production order, as
mentioned previously, is preserved according to the mRNA
code. The flawless distribution of tasks, incredible discipline,

conscious and knowledgeable actions visible in these uncon-
scious molecules clearly demonstrate the fact that each of them
surrender to All Knowing and All Powerful Almighty God, and
that they are acting under His control.

The Codon-Anticodon or
"Lock and Key" Method

The mRNA with the production order, and which had al-
ready entered the combining center of the ribosome, comes to-
gether with the tRNA that carries amino acid on one of its ends,
and together display a perfect lock-key harmony. Every set of
three letters in the mRNA are regarded as a codon. The other

end of the tRNA, the anticodon —the key capable of opening
the mRNA lock—is brought opposite the codon. Through this
extraordinary identification and control system within the
translation system used by the ribosome, proteins are produced
