65. Transcription Summary
• RNA polymerase binds to an unwound DNA and unwinds it. Creates
initiation bubble
• RNA polymerase binds to promoter region of DNA
• RNA polymerase reads DNA and creates the mRNA
• RNA polymerase hits the stop codon and stops making mRNA
• mRNA now releases to the cytoplasm

66. Translation Summary
• rRNA forms the ribosome
• mRNA binds to ribosome and reads the
first codon (AUG)
