Transcription involves RNA polymerase unwinding DNA and mRNA matching its bases to the DNA to create a complementary copy. The mRNA then passes through nuclear pores to the ribosomes. During translation, the mRNA binds to ribosomes where tRNA molecules match codons on the mRNA to bring the correct amino acids. These are linked together by the ribosome into a polypeptide chain that folds into a functional protein.

2. Transcription
• In Transcription, RNA Polymerase
unwinds a small portion of the DNA.
Then, mRNA matches the bases of
the DNA. The mRNA breaks away
from the DNA and passes through
the nuclear pores to get to the
ribosomes.
20. Translation
• In Translation, the mRNA comes in
contact with the ribosome. The
ribosome will then read the mRNA and
translate it. Then, tRNA anticodons
are created for each codon. Each
anticodon codes for a specific amino
acid. The tRNA finds the correct amino
acid and all the amino acids are strung
together to form a protein.
