transcription:
*The master blueprint is DNA, which contains all of the information to make the new protein.
*The working copy of the master blueprint is called messenger RNA (mRNA), which is copied from DNA.
*The construction site is either the cytoplasm in a prokaryote or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a eukaryote
1.Binds to the DNA strand at a specific sequence of the gene
2.Unwinds and unlinks the two strands of DNA
3.Uses one of the DNA strands as a guide
translation:
*the process of decoding the mRNA
*ribosomes use the mRNA to assemble amino acids into polypeptide
1. ribosome attatches to the mRNA
2. tRNA brings the proper amino acids to the ribosome
3. ribosome attaches to the amino acids to create a growth chain
4. ribosome helps form a peptide bond between the first and second amino acids
5. tRNA exits the ribosome
6. the polypeptide chain continues to grow untill the ribosome reaches a "stop" codon in the mRNA mollecule
