End of Transcription and Translation

Transcription Steps

1. First, the RNA polymerase copies the DNA into complementary mRNA strands in the nucleus.

2. Once the mRNA is complete it leaves the nucleus through nuclear pores.

Translation Steps

1. First the mRNA binds with a ribosome.

2. Then the tRNA anticodon brings a specific amino acid to each mRNA codon.

3. The amino acids use peptide bonds to bind together to form a polypeptide chain or protein.

4. Finally, the polypeptide chain or protein folds on itself and the nucleotides are recycled to be used in other cell functions.
