StepToScience on Instagram: "Transcription and Translation of Genetic Information 🧬 1️⃣ Transcription Transcription is the first step of gene expression. It occurs in the nucleus (in eukaryotes). The enzyme RNA polymerase uses one strand of DNA as a template to synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA). RNA nucleotides pair with DNA bases (A–U, T–A, C–G, G–C). The resulting mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome. 2️⃣ Translation Translation is the second step, where protein is made. It oc
