Question

What is transcription, translation and translocation ?

Explain it step by step


Answer in detail

Answer 1

Transcription is the process by which DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA. And by translation of the RNA sequence, proteins are formed.

Transcription results in the formation of primary transcript whereas translation results in polypeptide chain formation.
translocation, that is a chromosomal segment is moved from one position to another, either within the same chromosome or to another chromosome

Answer 2

Explanation:

Transcription : mRNA is produced as per the sequence of nucleotides on DNA. Only one strand of DNA is used in thr process. There is uracil in RNA instead if thymine of DNA.This process of RNA synthesis is called as 'transcription'.

Translation : The message on mRNA, amino acids are suppiled by the tRNA. For this purpose, tRNA has 'anticodon' having complementary sequence to the codon on mRNA.This is called as 'translation'.

Translocation : The ribosome keeps on moving from one end of mRNA to other end by the distance of one triplet codon. This is called as 'translocation'.
