Can someone explain translation and transcription really simply please? Like in dot point form for a summary, as I don't understand it.
Thanks!

Transcription:
• DNA is unzipped
• RNA is transcribed from template strand using RNA polymerase
• Pre-mRNA is made containing introns and exons
Translation:
• mRNA moves to the ribosomes
• Ribosomes read the mRNA code, one codon at a time
• tRNA brings a specific amino acid to the ribosome
• tRNA anticodon joins to the complementary mRNA codon
• an amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain

I’d also recommend finding a YouTube video that shows an animation of the process. I can’t recommend any particular ones but they can really help you visualise what is happening.

I concur with this! Visualising it helped me understand it myself when I first touched a first year bio unit at uni 😅
@tiredandstressed does have excellent dot points too!!

This is my favourite video I think it is really helpful to visualise the process
