TRANSCRIPTION (in the nucleus)

1 – The nucleotide sequence in DNA is copied onto the mRNA.

2 – mRNA then acts as a messenger/middleman. It exits the nucleus, into the cytoplasm and attaches itself to the ribosome.

TRANSLATION (in the cytoplasm)

3 – During translation, the mRNA acts as a template, the ribosome as a decoder, and the tRNA as the carriers of amino acids.

4 – The amino acids are then arranged in a particular order, according to the nucleotide sequence on the mRNA, and form a polypeptide chain of amino acids. This eventually becomes a structural or functional protein.


gahh i still have four more chapters to go.

then of course there's chem, geog, history, math and every other subject i haven't studied hehh.
