Question

Differentiate between Transcription and Translation?

Answer 1

1. Transcription is the process of copying DNA segments into RNA.
2. The translation is the process of protein synthesis in cell cytoplasm from RNA after transcription.

Transcription	Translation
It is a synthesis of RNA from DNA template.	1.In this, protein is synthesized from the RNA template.
2. It occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes.	2. It occurs in the cytoplasm of eukaryotes.
3. In this, DNA acts as a template.	3. In this, mRNA acts as a template.
4. In this, DNA-dependent RNA polymerase is the main enzyme involved.	4. In this, aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase main enzyme required for translation.
5. In this, end products are mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, miRNA, etc.	5. In this, protein or polypeptide is the end product.
6.In this, ribosomes are not involved in the process.	6. In this, translation occurs in ribosomes.
