Question

Prediction: RNA determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins and polypeptides by a two-step process: TRANSCRIPTION of DNA produces mRNA in the nucleus, then TRANSLATION of the mRNA to tRNA takes place in the ribosome in the cytoplasm.

The words capitalized above are the key processes of the exploration. Complete the following sentences.

Transcription produces ___.
Translation takes place in the ___.

Answer 1

Answer: step 1

Transcription produces mRNA

Translation takes place in the Ribosome

Step 2:

1 Information is transcribed in DNA to mRNA.

2 mRNA leaves the nucleus.

3 Ribosome attaches to the mRNA.

4 tRNA anticodon carries an amino acid that compliments the mRNA codon.

5 The chain of amino acids forms a protein.

Answer 2

Transcription produces mRNA
Translation takes place in the Ribosome
