The processes of transcription of DNA to mRNA and translation of mRNA to proteins are both susceptible to environmental influences.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both transcription and translation can be influenced by various factors such as temperature, pH, presence of chemicals or drugs, and radiation exposure. For example, mutations caused by UV radiation can lead to errors in DNA transcription, while some drugs can affect the process of translation by inhibiting the function of ribosomes or tRNA molecules.
