About this document

Transcription and Translation Overview by Dr Dapper is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. Transcription involves DNA unwinding and exposing its nucleotides. RNA polymerase joins complementary RNA nucleotides to the DNA template, producing an mRNA copy. 2. Translation involves mRNA entering the ribosome where each codon pairs with a complementary tRNA anticodon. The ribosome joins the amino acids carried by the tRNAs to form a protein chain. 3. Proteins can be detected using the Biuret test, which causes a color change in the presence of proteins.
