Summary Introduction

To review:

The processes of coupled transcription and translation along with their occurrence in eukaryotic cells.

Introduction:

Gene expression involves the processes of transcription as well as translation. The transcribing of RNA (ribonucleic acid) from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is followed by protein synthesis. The sequence of codons on the messenger RNA defines the type of protein synthesized.
