Explanation / Answer
Transcription
Translation
Takes place in what part of cell:
Transcription happens exclusively in the nucleus of the cell
Translation happens with the Ribosomes, that are located in the cytoplasm of the cell
Polymer to be made:
mRNA
Polypeptides
Monomers needed:
Ribonucleotides
Amino Acids
Direction of action:
3' to 5'
5' to 3'
Enzyme needed:
RNA polymerase,
Ribosomes
Needed to begin or initiate:
binding of RNA polymerase to double-stranded DNA
The small subunit of the ribosome binds at the 5' end of the mRNA molecule and moves in a 3' direction until it meets a start codon (AUG). It then forms a complex with the large unit of the ribosome complex and an initiation tRNA molecule.
Needed to end or terminate
the recognition of the transcription termination sequence and the release of RNA polymerase
Translation in terminated when the ribosomal complex reached one or more stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA)
List at least two other essential molecules you can think of:
Nucleotides (A,U,C,G)
DNA
tRNA :- transfer RNA
rRNA:- ribosomal RNA
