Answer: -during transcription RNA is produced from DNA templates-during translation that RNA is read to form polypeptide chains
What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Transcription occurs in the nucleus using DNA as a template to produce mRNA. In eukaryotes this mRNA molecule is known as pre-mRNA as it undergoes post-transcriptional modifications in the nucleus to produce a mature mRNA molecule. However in prokaryotes post-transcriptional modifications are not required so the mature mRNA molecule is immediately produced by transcription. Initially an enzyme known as a helicase acts on the molecule of DNA. DNA has an antiparallel double h…

Elongation of the polypeptide chain involves addition of amino acids to the carboxyl end of the growing chain. The growing protein exits the ribosome through the polypeptide exit tunnel in the large subunit. Elongation starts when the fMet-tRNA enters the P site causing a conformational change which opens the A site for the new aminoacyl-tRNA to bind. This binding is facilitated by elongation factor-Tu (EF-Tu) a small GTPase. For fast and accurate recognition of the appropriate tRNA the ribosome utilizes large co…
