What are the 3 steps of transcription?

1) DNA Helicase unzips and uncoils the DNA. 2) RNA polymerase adds complimentary bases and swaps T bases for U. 3) RNA Ligase makes the backbone.

What are the 5 steps of translation?

1) the ribosome (rRNA and attaches to the mRNA at the start codon. 2) tRNA carrying amino acids attaches to the codon on the mRNA with a complimentary anti codon. 3) 2 tRNA's fit into the ribosome and the two AA form a peptide bond. 4) the first
