    Transcription occurs in the nucleus and produces mRNA from a DNA template using RNA polymerase. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and uses mRNA to produce a polypeptide chain through the enzymatic activities of the ribosome, peptidyl transferase, and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. Both processes initiate when an enzyme recognizes a start signal, elongate through the sequential addition of nucleotides or amino acids, and terminate when a stop signal is reached.
