Protein synthesis is vital for cell growth and metabolism. (a) describe transcription and translation. (b) identify similarities between transcription and translation. (c) identify differences between transcription and translation. (d) describe structural changes that can occur to a protein after translation to make it function properly.

A. Transcription is the process of transcribing DNA to RNA

Translation is the translation of RNA into Proteins

c. Both involves the reading of nucleotide sequence

d. difference: transcription makes protein sequence while transcription makes RNA sequence.

c. protein can fold into the correct shape by itself to function. others are cleaved by enzymes to to function properly
