Describe the processes of transcription and translation in your own words, based on what you have observed in the Gizmo. Terms to use in your amino acid, anticodon, codon, gene, messenger RNA, nucleotide, ribosome, RNA, RNA polymerase, transcription, transfer RNA, translation.

The explanation of transcription and translation using the mentioned key words is as follows:

TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSLATION

Transcription is the process whereby a gene in a DNA template is used to synthesize a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule in the nucleus of the cell. This process of transcription occurs with the aid of an enzyme called rna polymerase, which adds the nucleotides complementary to the one it reads in the gene to the growing mRNA strand. Translation, on the other hand, is the second process of gene expression involving the synthesis of proteins from the mRNA sequence. This process occurs in the ribosome where a group of three nucleotides in the mRNA called codon is read by another group of complementary nucleotide in the transfer RNA (tRNA) called anticodon. The tRNA then carries amino acids corresponding to what is read in the codon to the growing polypeptide chain.
