Compare and Contract: Replication, Transcription, and Translation

	Initiation	Elongation	Termination
Replication	DNA Helicase Single-stranded binding protein DNA gyrase Primase: to make RNA primers	DNA polymerase III	DNA polymerase I Ligase
Transcription	Transcription factors (->proteins) TATA box (->DNA) RNA polymerase II (->protein)	RNA polymerase II	AAUAAA sequence (RNA)
Translation	Ribosome: recognize a specific sequences (usually, AUG; occasionally, GUG, UUG) moves along the mRNA three nucleotides at a time	Transfer RNA(tRNA): delivers the appropriate amino acid and the polypeptide chain stops when ribosome reaches a specific sequence (UAA,UAG,UGA) that does note code for and an amino acid but is instead a “stop” signal	The ribosome falls off the mRNA the polypeptide chain is released
