18. Transcription
The five steps of transcription are
1. Enzymes unzip a portion of the DNA molecule
2. Then RNA polymerase adds the matching RNA complimentary
to the DNA strand
3. A RNA sugar-phosphate backbone forms
4. The hydrogen bonds are then broken to free the new RNA
strand
5. Then the RNA exits the nucleus by the use of nuclear pores.
19. Translation
The five steps of translation are
1. First, a ribosome attaches to the mRNA strand and a tRNA
anticodon matches with the mRNA codon
2. The ribosome slides over the one codon of the mRNA
3. A tRNA molecule carries another amino acid pair to the
second mRNA codon
4. The amino acids are then joined together by peptide bonds
5. Lastly, the chain of amino acids are formed until the the stop
codon is reached
