Question

protein synthesis is a two - part process.

• during the first part of protein synthesis, called transcription, genes are used as templates to create a special kind of rna molecule called messenger rna, or mrna. in eukaryotic cells, this process occurs in the nucleus.
• during the second part of protein synthesis, called translation, the mrna leaves the cell nucleus and travels to a ribosome, where it is used to assemble a protein.

complete the table to compare transcription and translation.

Explanation:

• La traducción ocurre en el ribosoma.
• La transcripción produce una copia de ARNm de un gen.
• La transcripción ocurre en el núcleo de una célula eucariota.
• La traducción produce una proteína.

Answer:

• Ocurs at a ribosome: Transcription ( ) Translation (●)
• Produces an mRNA copy of a gene: Transcription (●) Translation ( )
• Occurs in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell: Transcription (●) Translation ( )
• Produces a protein: Transcription ( ) Translation (●)
