what role does transcription and translation play in protein synthesis
Transcription, Translation, And Protein Synthesis Flashcards â¦Transcription, Translation, and Protein Synthesis. â¦ Transcription is the process of copying the DNA sequence of a gene and then transporting it to the cytoplasm of the cell â¦ The ribosomes role in protein synthesis is to translate the mRNA code from the DNA template into an amino acid [â¦]
The stretch of DNA transcribed into an RNA molecule is called a transcription unit and encodes at least one gene. If the gene encodes a protein, the transcription produces messenger RNA (mRNA); the mRNA, in turn, serves as a template for the protein's synthesis through translation. Alternatively, the transcribed gene may encode for either non-coding RNA (such as microRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), or other enzymatic RNA molecules called ribozymes.
