Briefly describe initiation, elongation, & termination in transcription
Initiation: RNA polymerase binds to promoter, unwinds the DNA strands & begins making a strand of pre-mRNA at the start point.
Elongation: RNA polymerase keeps making a strand of pre-mRNA & the DNA rewinds behind it
Termination: RNA polymerase falls off the template strand when it reaches the polyadenylation signal & the pre-mRNA goes to processing (in humans)
Briefly describe initiation, elongation, & termination in translation
Initiation: Small subunit of ribosome binds to the mRNA & scans until it finds the start codon, then the large subunit attaches
Elongation: The polypeptide keeps growing by breaking the bond in the polypeptide and the tRNA at the P site to make a new peptide bond with the next amino acid
Termination: Ribosome reaches stop codon on mRNA & the release factor causes all components to separate from each other.
