Transcription:

• Section of DNA unwinds and unzips
• Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs break
• Activated free nucleotides bind to the exposed complementary base pairs on the template strand
• Catalysed by RNA polymerase
• mRNA is released from DNA and passes out of the nuclear pore to a ribosome or rough ER.

Translation:

• The molecule of mRNA…
