CAIE A Level Biology 9700 · Nucleic acids and protein synthesis
A gene in a eukaryotic cell codes for an enzyme. Outline the differences between transcription and translation in the production of this enzyme. In your answer, include the location, template, enzymes involved, products, and any modifications that occur.
5 marks, so the mark scheme is looking for about 5 separate creditworthy points. Making the same point twice in different words earns it once.
Outline means: Give the main points briefly. Less detail than describe, but every key step has to be there. One short line per step, in order. The marks are for coverage, not depth.
