Transcription is the process in which DNA is converted to RNA by transcription factors.
Translation is the process in which RNA is converted to proteins.
The easiest way to remember this is by thinking of DNA as American-English and RNA as british-English. Anyone who knows either one of the languages can easily convert one of them to the other. Toilet becomes the loo. Sidewalk becomes the pavement, etc.
This is because DNA has A-T (adenosine-thymin) and C-G (cytosine-guanine) while RNA has A-U (adenosine-uracil) and C-G (cytosine-guanine) bonds. The language is almost the same. From RNA to proteins however, the entire code, structure and function is altered beyond recognition. This is why you call it translation. The conversion of one language to a completely different one - like british to Chinese for example.
So, the product of transcription is RNA and the product of translation is proteins.

Why is it is more important for DNA replication to be exact than for transcription or translation to be exact?
It is more important for DNA replication to be exact than for transcription or translation to be exact because replication products the master copy. Translation and transcription contains many possible codes that can correct for errors.
Mrna is synthesized in translation or transcription?
Transcription
The process of assembling a protein form RNA is called?
This is Transcription, and it is called mRNA
When does transcription begins prokaryotic cell?
In Prokaryotic Cells transcription and translation can occur simultaneously, but transcription happens after a transcription initiation complex has been formed.
What is the process called when DNA is copied into messenger RNA?
Transcription.
What are two parts of protein synthesis?
transcription and translation
The copying of the DNA code onto RNA is called?
Transcription

Mrna is synthesized in translation or transcription?
Transcription
Regulatory proteins can exert ther effects when before transcription during transcription after transcription during translation or all of these?
during translation
Where in the cell do translation and transcription take place?
In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs in the nucleus from which the transcript it transported to the cytoplasm where translation occurs. In prokaryotic cells, transcription and translation both take place in the cytoplasm.
Process of producing mrna from instructions in dna?
Transcription
Is the process in which DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules known as translation?
Nope. Transcription first, then translation. They occur in alphabetical order. The DNA is copied into RNA in transcription. The RNA is translated into protein in translation.
Where in the cell does transcription take place and translation?
Transcription takes place in the nucleus and translation takes place on a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
How is transcription different from translation?
-translation is the process in which cellular ribosomes creates protiens. -transcription is the first step of gene expression.
What occurs during translation but not during transcription?
Transcription is the formation of mRNA from DNA whereas translation is the synthesis of protein from RNA.
What is the product of transcription and translation?
proteins
