transcription is the process which your DNA serves as a template to produce single stranded mRNA. An enzyme (RNA polymerase) slides down the DNA template (after the opening, and in part assisting, of the DNA double helix) and catalyzes the the polymerization of this RNA molecule. The code of the resulting mRNA is a direct result of the sequence of DNA because As and Ts (U's) match up as do Gs and Cs. Translation is the process where your mRNA floats out the nucleus, slides into the ribosomal complex in the cytoplasm, and "translates" the nucleotide code within mRNA to the amino acid code. Every 3 nucleotides in this mRNA "code" for a specific amino acid, at which point a peptide bond is joined between amino acids to produce a polypeptide or protein. Translation is therefore the process by which mRNA codes for protein. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080307095154AAq5OfY
