Transcription
The five steps of transcription are1. Enzymes unzip a portion of the DNA molecule2. Then RNA polymerase adds the matching RNA complimentary
to the DNA strand3. A RNA sugar-phosphate backbone forms 4. The hydrogen bonds are then broken to free the new RNA
strand 5. Then the RNA exits the nucleus by the use of nuclear pores.
Translation
The five steps of translation are1. First, a ribosome attaches to the mRNA strand and a tRNA
anticodon matches with the mRNA codon2. The ribosome slides over the one codon of the mRNA3. A tRNA molecule carries another amino acid pair to the
second mRNA codon4. The amino acids are then joined together by peptide bonds5. Lastly, the chain of amino acids are formed until the the stop
codon is reached
