    The document summarizes the key steps in transcription and translation. It describes how transcription involves RNA polymerase binding to a promoter sequence and creating mRNA using a DNA template. Translation is described as starting with an initiator tRNA attaching to a ribosome and the mRNA, followed by elongation where tRNAs bring amino acids to be added to the growing protein chain. Termination occurs when a stop codon is reached and the completed protein is released.

    key Components

    RNA Promoter Transcription Terminator


    Polymerase Sequence Factors Sequence
    Initiation

    RNA Polymerase binds to the end of the


    promoter sequence

    DNA template strand gets separated


    RNA Polymerase adds RNA bases in 5’ to 3’

    RNA strand gets created through reference to


    the DNA template

    Elongation
    Termination

    Terminator sequences causes RNA chain to be


    released from its polymerase

    Final RNA is made: mRNA (messenger RNA) is


    transported to ribosomes
    key Components

    Ribosomes mRNA tRNA Release


    Factors
    Initiation

    Initiator tRNA starts the chain with Methionine


    (starting amino acid)

    tRNA attaches to P-site of ribosome


    tRNA carrying next anticodon attaches to the
    next mRNA codon

    Translocation of top amino acid


    tRNA at P-site gets released while another
    comes in

    Elongation
    Termination

    Stop codon determines end of protein synthesis

    Release factor adds water molecule to last


    amino acid to release it from tRNA
