* Rename proteins->polypeptide in protein-translation canonical-data.json

* Update description.md

* Revert polypeptide to protein

* Update canonical-data.json: "protein"->"proteins"

* Revert canonical-data.json

* Update description.md

* Switch all "polypeptide" mentions to "protein"

* hyphenate "three nucleotide"

* Update exercises/protein-translation/description.md

Translate RNA sequences into proteins.

RNA can be broken into three nucleotide sequences called codons, and then translated to a polypeptide like so:
RNA can be broken into three-nucleotide sequences called codons, and then translated to a protein like so:

RNA: `"AUGUUUUCU"` => translates to

Codons: `"AUG", "UUU", "UCU"`
=> which become a polypeptide with the following sequence =>

Protein: `"Methionine", "Phenylalanine", "Serine"`

Note the stop codon `"UAA"` terminates the translation and the final methionine is not translated into the protein sequence.

Below are the codons and resulting Amino Acids needed for the exercise.
