What are the 5 steps of translation biology?
Translation (Protein Synthesis)
- Initiation. In this step the small subunit part of the ribosome attaches to the 5′ end of the mRNA strand.
- Elongation.
- Termination.
What is the correct pathway of information to go from a gene to a protein in a eukaryotic cell?
The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.
What is transcription RNA and translation to protein?
The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology states that DNA makes RNA makes proteins (Figure 1). The process by which DNA is copied to RNA is called transcription, and that by which RNA is used to produce proteins is called translation.
How are DNA protein trait and RNA related?
An intermediate language, encoded in the sequence of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA), translates a gene’s message into a protein’s amino acid sequence. It is the protein that determines the trait. This is called central dogma of life….I.a. The DNA, RNA and Proteins.
| RNA | DNA |

How is a gene transcribed and translated to produce a protein?
During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.
What happens between transcription and translation?
Transcription and translation take the information in DNA and use it to produce proteins. Transcription uses a strand of DNA as a template to build a molecule called RNA. During translation, the RNA molecule created in the transcription process delivers information from the DNA to the protein-building machines.
