transfusion vs. transcription
i don’t really get the difference between them! like they both have to do with dna right?! but what’s the dif?!

wait i meant between transcription and translation NOT transfusion! loll sorry! ♥

Transcription, if I remember right, has to do with the copying of the DNA strand when it replicates itself (DNA->DNA). Translation has to do with copying the DNA code onto RNA (DNA->RNA). The way to remember it is that RNA is different from DNA; it’s like "translating" something into a different language.

If I remember correctly it is more:
Transcritption is the synthesis of DNA in mRNA
Translation is the synthesis of a polypeptide from the mRNA - January 13, 2006 at 4:23 pm #37089alextempletParticipant
Yeah, now I remember correctly. Gosh, sometimes that little thing called memory can be so unreliable! At least I tried, even if I embarrassed myself! 😳 Thanks for the clarification. 😀

O-ow once again, Doctor comes when problem is already solved 🙄 😆
Well, to make my coming is not useless here, I will provide a figure here for entertain you all 8) And the one who asked about transcription vs translation will understand it better 🙂 Enjoy! 🙂
Ooh I love figures 😉
