The ultimate goal of transcription and translation is to build a protein.

Transcription is the process of converting DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), while translation is the process in which the mRNA is used as a template to assemble amino acids into a protein. Proteins play crucial roles in the structure and function of cells, influencing everything from metabolism to cellular signaling.
