Develop a model and explain the process of transcription and translation.

In an eukaryotic cell:
Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell. There are three steps; initiation, elongation, and termination. RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter segment of DNA and moves downstream, laying down corresponding RNA bases along the template strand of DNA in the 5’ to 3’ direction. Once the segment of DNA has been transcribed, the RNA polymerase detaches and the DNA rewinds, leaving a completed RNA transcript.

Translation typically occurs in ribosomal units that are free floating within the cytoplasm. mRNA is fed through the ribosomal complex, and tRNA brings corresponding
