All proteins are made up of combinations of 20 different amino acids. The RNA code (like DNA) is written in just four different chemical 'letters' - bases. How can a code with four letters identify 20 different amino acids? By reading it three letters at a time - CAU, CAG, GGA, etc.
How are proteins made? To make a protein, a cell must put a chain of amino acids together in the right order. First, it makes a copy of the relevant DNA instruction in the cell nucleus, and takes it into the cytoplasm - a bit like taking a photocopy of the instruction manual from the manager's office out to the assembly lines in a car factory.
