Overall Transcription + Translation image

See image, keep in mind: - Each part and process - RNA polymerase = ca unzip and match base pairs (its the multitasker) - want Exons - Introns get spliced out - pre-mRNA = before getting processed and modified - A = adding amino acids - P = polypeptide (hold them) - E = exit - polypeptide chain (the string of shapes) shifts as anticodons go in and out in order to stay in the middle - AUG: start codon - hydrolysis is used to get the polypeptide chain out of the "P" area, with a water molecule as a byproduct
