Transcription is the process of of copying DNA information from a DNA strand, to form an mRNA, that can later be used to produce a protein in translation. Transcription will involve the double helix of DNA opening to produce two strands, where one of them will be used as a template. Complimentary base pairs to the template strand will join together, forming a new strand called messenger RNA. Transcription all occurs in the nucleus. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm, where the mRNA will bind to a ribosome. The ribosome reads the mRNA. tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids and they also have an anticodon which is complimentary to the codon (3 bases) on the mRNA. Via complimentary base pairing the tRNA molecule will line up along the mRNA strand and deposit its amino acid, each time forming a bond between the amino acids. This will occur for each codon on the mRNA, until the protein is formed.
