Transcription and translation are the two processes by which proteins are produced. Transcription occurs in the nucleus and involves RNA polymerase using DNA as a template to produce mRNA. It includes base pairing between DNA and mRNA. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and uses the ribosome, tRNA, and rRNA to translate the mRNA code into a chain of amino acids that forms the final protein molecule. The ribosome reads the mRNA codons and links amino acids brought by tRNA to build the protein chain until reaching the end of the mRNA.

tRNA
rRNA
ribosomes
amino acids
protein
The Transcription is the process of synthesizing a protein using the (DNA) information from an mRNA
molecule. Transcription uses RNA polymerase. It occurs in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell. It is similar
to DNA replication because a DNA strand is used to synthesize RNA strands. In the beginning of the
transcription, the DNA and RNA Polymerase are combined and then separate into two strands. Then,
The DNA serves as a strand for the nucleotides to go together to a mRNA strand. When the strand is
formed, Base pairing for the nitrogenous bases is in the uracil. In the beginning of the signal of
transcription, It usually starts transcribing with the RNA polymerase into the mRNA, then mRNA
molecules are completed which means that is the end of the transcription. Translations are the process
in which the ribosome synthesizes the proteins using the mRNA that was produced in the transcription
process. In the nitrogenous bases on the mRNA it interprets the amino acids to assemble to construct
the protein molecules. Translation occurs in the cell’s ribosome. Inside the cell’s cytoplasm, the
ribosomes attaches to mRNA. The codon goes through the ribosome, and then tRNA brings amino acid
into the ribosome. The code of the mRNA is translated when the tRNA carries one type of amino acid.
After that the ribosome and rRNA molecules attaches amino acids to together with the tRNA. When
translation is completed the protein chains continues to develop until the ribosome reaches the mRNA
molecule. In The ribosome it releases the mRNA to form new molecules of proteins.
