Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two major phases of protein synthesis are transcription and translation. Transcription occurs in the nucleus and involves the synthesis of an RNA molecule from DNA. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and involves the decoding of the RNA molecule to synthesize a protein. Replication is the process of copying DNA, while mitosis and cytokinesis are involved in cell division, but neither of these processes are directly related to protein synthesis.
