Compare and contrast the process of rna transcription and rna translation

Protein synthesis involves formation of proteins using information present in DNA. During this, information present in DNA is first transferred to the mRNA molecule, known as RNA transcription. It takes place in nuclei of eukaryotic cells, while in prokaryotes it takes  place in cytosol.

In next step, information present in mRNA as codons is used to make polypeptide chains or proteins, known as RNA translation. Each codon is specific and codes for a particular amino acid. In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, it takes place in cytosol.

Thus, both transcription and translation are part of synthesis, but transcription involves formation of mRNA from DNA, while translation involves formation of proteins from mRNA.

label a cell membrane

label b cytoplasm

label c ribosomes

label d dna

the membrane forms the outside of the cell

cytoplasm is the liquid within

ribosomes are the components within that distribute rna

the dna is the genetic make-up

potentially fatal issues such as heart attacks and strokes
