Q
Transcription
A
Information in a DNA sequence is copied into a RNA sequence

Q
Translation
A
information transcribed into RNA is used by ribosomes to make proteins

Q
Process of Transcription (3)
A
Genetic sequence in DNA is read
6
Q
Process of Transcription (4)
A
While sequence is read, copy of it is made using base pairing rules
