The process of the scientific method is the central method by which science is conducted in the modern. During transcription in eukaryotes, a type of rna polymerase called rna polymerase ii moves along the template strand of the dna in the 35 direction. But since the dna cant leave the cell nucleus, it must make a strand of mrna messenger rna to deliver this pattern to the trna transfer rna in the cells cytoplasm. Translation is the process by which information in mrnas is used to direct the synthesis of proteins. Here, the dna sequence of a gene is rewritten in the form of rna.
