Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). Translation, on the other hand, is the process by which mRNA is decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide, that will later fold into an active protein.
