What is DNA Translation
This Process is carried out in the ribosome and is the one in which DNA is converted into proteins during a lengthy process in the form of amino acids. This protein is used by different functions that are to be performed by the cell and is the one in which splicing is required. This process does not need any other molecule to act as an adaptor while the other main requirement of translation includes different types of polypeptide chains. There are also other factors involved such as initiation, elongation, and translocase while occasional changes in the amino acids combining with other substances also occur.
What is DNA Transcription
This is a process in which several chains of RNA are produced when the DNA is converted. This is done to make sure the cell has all the tools required to perform its function, therefore, the main product of transcription is mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. The complete process takes place in the nucleus and there is no requirement of adaptor molecule through the process of splicing may be required in some cases. Processing process also takes place in which cutting, modification, and folding take place. The process is essential for the cell while the main requirement for it is the RNA polymerase.
