Translation Translation is the synthesis of polypeptides on ribosomes This stage of protein synthesis occurs?in the cytoplasm?of the cell After leaving the nucleus, the?mRNA molecule attaches to a ...
Transcription This process of protein synthesis occurs in?two stages: Transcription?–?DNA?is transcribed and an?mRNA?molecule is produced mRNA is a single stranded RNA molecule that transfers the i...
Meselson & Stahl's Experiments Analysis of Meselson and Stahl’s results to obtain support for the theory of semi-conservative replication of DNA Crick and Watson, as they defined the shape of D...
DNA Replication The replication of DNA is semi-conservative and depends on complementary base pairing Semi-conservative means that?one strand of the 'parent' DNA is kept?in the 'daughter' molecule ...
