The synthesis of rna on a dna template. The synthesis of a polypeptide using the genetic information encoded in an mrna molecule. There is a change in the (cid:498)language(cid:499) from nucleotides to amino acids. Replication: begins at specific sites on a double helix and then proceeds in both directions.
