repilcation |
duplication of dna, takes place before cell division, produces two complementary strands protein bonds to the origin, then dna enyzmes unzip the dna, breaking the hydrogen bonds, then the unpaired strands look for complemtnary bases. Old and new strands now bond together with hydrogen takes place in nucleus |
|
transcription |
dna makes rna RNA polymerase binds to dna causing the strands to unzip. then dna and rna bases bond by hydrogen. All three types of RNA are transcribed in the nucleus. Rna leaves the nucleus, goes to the cytoplasm to be part of protein synthesis. |
