Replication When it is time to replicate, the DNA unzips (at the hydrogen bonds).
Replication New complementary nucleotides move in to match BOTH halves of the DNA and form hydrogen bonds with the old nucleotides.
Replication The finished product is: 2 identical DNA molecules that are ½ new and ½ old.
Transcription Cells gets the message that a protein needs to be made and a portion of DNA unwinds, exposing the gene that needs to be copied.
Transcription Nucleotides move in to one half of the unzipped DNA. These nucleotides have ribose sugar and uracil instead of thymine.
Transcription The mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to the ribosome. The DNA rezips.
Translation The mRNA goes to the ribosome.
Translation The mRNA tells the ribosome which amino acids to assemble into a protein.
Translation The amino acids come into the ribosome and are attached to each other by peptide bonds.
Translation The protein is finished and is ready to be used by the cell.
