    *Initiation - RNA polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. This process signals the DNA to "unzip."
    *Elongation - The addition of nucleotides to the mRNA strand. As nucleotides are added he strands lengthens.
*Termination - The ending of transcription. The mRNA strand is complete,and it detaches from DNA.]]> 2021-02-04 18:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/robbinsa472/sz0e8awncfaam4b/wish/1165425230 Translation (making of the Amino Acid sequence) robbinsa472 https://padlet.com/robbinsa472/sz0e8awncfaam4b/wish/1165457667     *Initiation - mRNA attaches to a ribosome, and tRNA anticodon comes along (bringing an amino Acid with it) to match with the corresponding mRNA codon
    *Elongation - Amino Acids are brought to the ribosome by tRNAs and linked together to form a chain.
*Termination - The finished polypeptide is released to go and do its job in the cell.]]> 2021-02-04 18:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/robbinsa472/sz0e8awncfaam4b/wish/1165457667 RNA robbinsa472 https://padlet.com/robbinsa472/sz0e8awncfaam4b/wish/1165480729 A ~ U
