Short term copy of a gene.

• mRNA

• rRNA

• tRNA

Transcription is the first step in protein synthesis. What happens during transcription?

• gene gets copied into mRNA

• sections of mRNA get cut out

• ribosome assembles amino acids into a chain

• chain of amino acids folds into specific shape

Translation is the second step in protein synthesis. What happens during translation?

• gene gets copied into mRNA

• sections of mRNA get cut out

• ribosome assembles amino acids into a chain

• chain of amino acids folds into specific shape
