Discribe the processes of transcriotion and translation
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Please find the explanation of transcription and translation below using the key words.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process whereby a gene in a DNA template is used to synthesize a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule in the nucleus of the cell. This process of transcription occurs with the aid of an enzyme called RNA POLYMERASE, which adds the nucleotides complementary to the one it reads in the gene to the growing mRNA strand.

Translation, on the other hand, is the second process of gene expression involving the synthesis of proteins from the mRNA sequence. This process occurs in the RIBOSOME where a group of three nucleotides in the mRNA called CODON is read by another group of complementary nucleotide in the transfer RNA (tRNA) called ANTICODON. The tRNA then carries amino acids corresponding to what is read in the codon to the growing polypeptide chain.
