Transcription and translation are the 2 stages of gene expression.
The purpose of transcription is synthesis of RNA and that of translation is synthesis of protein.
Definition:
Transcription can be scientificaly defined as, process of constructing a messenger RNA using a DNA molecule as a template
ie, making rRNA from a DNA is Transcription
Translation is process of translating a messenger RNA to a sequence of amino acid during protein synthesis.
ie, translation is the process of protein synthesis
Products of Transcription: rRNA mRNA tRNA microRNA
translation : Protein
Transcription occurs in nucleus of eukaryots and cyto plasm of prokaryots
translation in ribosom of endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryots and cytoplasm of prokaryots
Transcription initiated byRNA polymerase protein bind to DNA
It elongates in 5'-3' manner
Terminates when polymerase detaches from DNA
Translation initiated when ribosom subunit's initiation factor and tRNA bind the mRNA near AUG starting codon
It elongates in 5'3' direction
Terminates whenribosomencounters one of the 3 stop codons
Antibiotics of Transcription are 8-hydroxy quinoline and Rifampisin
Translation is tetracyclin chloramphenicol strptomycin
