Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The processes of transcription has to be described.
Concept introduction: Transcription is the process in which synthesis of RNA take place by using DNA as template strand.
Previous literature suggest that RNA is the intermediate between DNA and protein:
DNA was present in nucleus and proteins were form in cytoplasm and RNA synthesis takes place in nucleus and exported to cytoplasm.
(b)
Interpretation:
The processes of translation has to be described.
Concept introduction:
Translation is the process in which protein synthesis take place. The genetic code include within an mRNA molecule interpret to produce the specific sequence of amino acid in a polypeptide chain.
