DNA replication Transcription Translation Purpose Where it occurs Molecules Template molecule New molecule made Phase of cell cycle when occurs Chromosome structure during the process Steps of the process DNA replication Transcription Translation Purpose Where it occurs Molecules Template molecule New molecule made Phase of cell cycle when occurs Chromosome structure during the process Steps of the process Solution DNA Replication Transcription Translation Purpose Creating copies of DNA for growth and repair. Creating an RNA template which codes for protein synthesis. To synthesize proteins for various cellular functions from the transcribed RNA. Where it occurs Nucleus Nucleus Cytoplasm Molecules DNA template, Nucleotides, Primase, RNA Primer, Helicase, Single Strand Binding Proteins, Topoisomerases, DNA Polymerase III, DNA Polymerase I, DNA Ligase RNA Polymerase, Transcription factors (TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF and TFIIH), RNA nucleotides, Activators, Repressors, Capping Enzyme mRNA, tRNA, Amino acids, Release factors Template Molecule Leading and laggng strands of DNA Double stranded DNA mRNA New Molecule Made DNA RNA Polypeptide chain Phase of cell cycle S phase G1 or G2 G1 and G2 Chromosome structure during the process Elongated Elongated Condensed.
