Protein Synthesis
Transcription- the transfer of information from a DNA gene's base sequence to the complementary base sequence of an mRNA molecule. Occurs in three stages-
RNA polymerase binds to a DNA promoter -> initiation of transcription on the template DNA strand -> elongation of the mRNA chain and termination of transcription and the release of completed mRNA.
Once the mRNA molecule is made it detaches and leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pore.
Translation- the language of nucleic acids into the langauge of protiens. This occurs in the cytoplasm.
The mRNA molecule carries the instructions and binds to a ribosomal subunit, rRNA -> tRNA transfers amino acids that were disolved into the cytosol to the ribosome-> Anticodons (end of a tRNA strand) bond with complementary codons and translate information into that of proteins
