Concept explainers
To distinguish:
Between translation and transcription.
Introduction:
Gene expression is the process, by which the genetic information encoded within the genetic material is used to synthesize a functional product like, proteins or functional RNA (ribonucleic acid). All the prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms express their genes through gene expression.
The information enclosed within the genetic material DNA is transcribed into messenger ribonucleic acid) through the process of transcription. This contains the sequence of amino acids to form a polypeptide. This sequence is translated into proteins through translation with the help of transfer ribonucleic acid). The whole process is referred as gene expression.
