Light-independent reactions, or dark reactions,[1] of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside the thylakoid membranes. These reactions take the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions and perform further
1. DNA unzips in the nucleus.
RNA polymerase binds to the DNA sequence, separates the two strands and creates a single-stranded DNA molecule that will be transcripted.
2. Transcription occurs.
Transcription is the first step of gene expression. During this process, a gene's DNA sequence is copied and a mRNA molecule is produced.
3. mRNA moves to the ribosome
The mRNA is then transferred from the nucleus to the ribosome, the organelle that serves as a site for protein synthesis.
4. Translation occurs
Translation is the process where a mRNA sequence into the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide (protein).
5. Protein assembled at ribosome.
Translation, meaning the formation of a protein, occurs on the ribosome.
IN AFRICA thats where you'll find many fossils :D
