Avatara, the unportable universal translator, scores another point.

DNA is the "code" for making protiens. Or something.

I thought proteins were made from amino acids.

Let me throw around some terms that I forget what they are:

DNA - strings of genetic material
RNA - single helixes rather than double helixes, does other stuff that I can't remember
Protein - found in cell walls; controls the gathering of nutrients for the cell
Polypeptide chain - if I'm not mistaken, these chains make up either amino acids or DNA (hey, I'm digging into the recesses of my brain here)
amino acids - make up proteins, 21 different kinds, I think
mRNA - messenger RNA, controls how the amino acids make the different proteins I think

I missed out on Biology this year. I have had Spainish for almost all of my classes at school. They are trying to get me fluent.

Ah, DNA codes for amino acids, which in turn make protiens. Something like that.

You are correct. Amino acids do chain together to form proteins (among other things).
