no, because without rna, the body would not be able to do protein synthesis [ transcription and translation], and without proteins their would be no gene expression because genes code for proteins which then carry out the specific expression or trait.

but has this been irrevocably been proven. there could be genes or parts of DNA that express them trough other means than RNA. It would be hard to prove that all DNA is expressed trough RNA, because that mean checking every single gene. Although I concur that most Genes will be expressed through RNA we cannot be a 100% sure

Do the processes of transcription and translation occur in the same cellular structure?

No, transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm. In prokaryotic cells, both transcription and translation can occur in the cytoplasm due to the lack of a nuclear membrane.


Where do transcription and translation occur in prokaryotic cells?

It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Transcription and translation occur in prokaryotes at the same time because of the lack of nuclear membrane.RNA polymerase transcribes through the terminator sequence, causing the polymerase to fall off the DNA and release the transcript.


Where in the cell does transcription and translation happen?

In prokaryotes (cells without nuclei), both transcription makes RNA from DNA and translation makes proteins from mRNA in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes (cells with nuclei), transcription occurs in the nucleus, while translation occurs in the ribosomes of the cytoplasm.


Is the process in which DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules known as translation?

No, the process in which DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules is known as transcription, not translation. Translation is the process in which the mRNA is read by ribosomes to synthesize proteins.


Does transcription occur in the nucleus or at the nucleoid?

Transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells, where DNA is transcribed into RNA. In prokaryotic cells, transcription occurs at the nucleoid, which is the region where the genetic material is located.

What are two parts of protein synthesis?

transcription and translation


Where does translation occure in prokaryotic?

In prokaryotes, the processes of transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, allowing for a rapid cellular response to an environmental cue.


What two processes must occur to get from a gene to a protein?

The process by which a gene is read is through transcription and occurs through the activity of an enzyme called RNA polymerase II in the nucleus. This results in the formation of molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is then translated into a string of amino acids or protein by transfer RNA (tRNA) on ribosomes outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm.


Regulatory proteins can exert ther effects when before transcription during transcription after transcription during translation or all of these?

during translation


Where does genetic transcription occur?

Genetic transcription occurs in the cell nucleus. It involves the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template by RNA polymerase. The mRNA transcript is then processed and transported out of the nucleus for translation in the cytoplasm.


What are the two main stages in the synthesis of proteins and where does each occur?

The two main stages in the synthesis of proteins are transcription and translation. Transcription occurs inside the nucleus and translation will take place in the ribosomes within the cytoplasm.


Translation is to protein as transcription is to?

Translation is to protein as transcription is to RNA. Transcription is the process by which RNA is synthesized from DNA, while translation is the process by which proteins are synthesized from RNA.
