2. The codon-anticodon method prevents any
errors during the translation and combination
processes. In this method, the messenger RNA
and the transfer RNA pair and interact like a
lock and a key. Every three letter in the mRNA is
considered a ‘codon’, or a key. The end of the
{ anticodon transfer RNA that can unlock this key is called
{ the anti-codon and pairs with the codon.

element 3. As messenger RNA and transfer RNA pair, two
special sections of the ribosomal DNA are used.
mRNA enters the smaller unit of the ribosomal
RNA, while tRNA enters the larger unit. Special
mechanisms facilitate these movements. This is
crucial, because it shows that a Creator knew
about tRNA, mRNA when ribosome was first cre-

ated, He knew about their qualities and that they
would use ribosome for a special purpose and it
is also clear that He created these specialized
tasks and regions of the ribosome. It is definitely
not possible for these structures to come into
being by gradual, random changes and create
this impeccable harmony. Furthermore, there are
even more detailed designs and complicated
steps not explained here. In addition, there are
two special sections at the site where the tRNAs

element
that just arrived, and the other one is used by
the other tRNA which has completed its duty and
is about to leave the ribosome.

4. tRNA brings the first amino acid required for
the protein to be produced and places it across
a special codon called the ‘start codon’, allow-
ing the translation process to start. Ribosome
will not start the production without this start
codon, which always codes for methionine. 26
