Biology
Transcription occurs in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The two processes use different components and enzymes, transcription uses transcription factors and RNA polymerase whereas translation uses ribosomes and aminoacyl tRNA synthetase. Transcription uses DNA as a template whereas translation uses mRNA codons as a template. Transcription results in an mRNA strand being formed whereas translation results in a polypeptide being formed. The building blocks (monomers) are also different; transcription uses RNA nucleotides whereas translation uses amino acids. Transcription involves the pairing of complementary bases of DNA and free RNA nucleotides whereas translation involves the pairing of anticodon bases of tRNA and those of mRNA.
- Q: Compare And Contrast Dna Replication And Transcription
Similarities: Both processes occur in the nucleus. Both processes also involve specific complementary base pairing. Both processes involving the unwinding of the double helix DNA. Both processes involve forming of hydrogen bonds between the original DNA...
- Translation
Translation is the process by which a triplet base sequence of mRNA molecules are converted into a specific sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain in the cytoplasm of a cell. It consists of initiation, elongation, and termination. The mRNA, a...
- Translation
What is Translation? Once transcription occurs translation has to then do its job in the ribosomes by taking the base code of a mRNA molecule and translating a peptide into a chain of amino acids. This is how it works: Molecules of mRNA come out of the...

Transcription in Eukaryotic Cells What is transcription? Transcription is the process that creates RNA inside a cell. It is used to develop proteins inside the cytoplasm of a cell although the actual transcription happens in the nucleus and mitochondria....
