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.


What are two parts of protein synthesis?

transcription and translation


To what part of the cell do products of transcription travel?

The products of transcription, mRNA molecules, travel from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of the cell. In the cytoplasm, mRNA is used as a template for protein synthesis in the process of translation.


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

during translation


Describe the locations reactants and products of transcription and translation?

Transcription is located in the nucleus, and translation is located in the cytoplasm. The product of transcription is RNA, and the product of translation is protein. The reactants for transcription is DNA, and the reactants for translation is mRNA and tRNA.


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.


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.


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.


What is the product of transcription and translation?

proteins


Mrna is synthesized in translation or transcription?

mRNA is synthesized during the process of transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of the cell. During transcription, the information stored in DNA is copied onto mRNA, which can then move out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm for translation. Translation is the process by which the mRNA is read by ribosomes to produce a specific protein.


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.


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.
