11. Summary
• Transcription – The DNA strand is made into
mRNA. Then the mRNA leaves the nucleolus to
the cytoplasm. The DNA is forms into RNA by the
end of all of the steps.
• Translation – rRNA forms the Ribosome and then
the the mRNA binds to ribosome and is read.
Then tRNA proof reads mRNA and transfers
amino acids. Amino acids attached to tRNA bind
with peptide bond. Ribosomes hits stop codon
and completes the protein.
