Transcription and Translation
Advertisements
Solution
| Transcription | Translation | |
| i. | Transcription is the process of synthesis of mRNA from DNA. | Translation is the process by which tRNA having anticodon to the codon on the mRNA, supplies amino acids, as per the message on mRNA. |
| ii. | It occurs in the nucleus. | It occurs in the cytoplasm. |
| iii. | It is the process of RNA synthesis. | It is the process of protein synthesis. |
| iv. | RNA polymerase catalyses this process. | The ribosome catalyses this process. |
