About this document
DNA Transcription and Translation Overview by eraasyahirah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
DNA is transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into proteins. Transcription involves RNA polymerase making an RNA copy of the DNA. In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase binds to promoter sequences and transcribes the template DNA strand into mRNA. Eukaryotes have multiple RNA polymerases and more complex transcription initiation involving general transcription factors. The mRNA is processed, including capping, polyadenylation, and splicing before being exported and translated into protein.
