WHAT IS IEC 60601-1. IEC 60601 is a series of technical standards. for the safety and effectiveness of medical. electrical equipment. The primary standard governing medical device. design is IEC 60601-1 (medical electrical equipment. - Part 1: general requirements for basic safety and. essential performance).
Figure 1: A gene is expressed through the processes of transcription and translation. 1  During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink).
Internet-Based Tools for Teaching Transcription and Translation. Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence. This copy, called a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, leaves the cell nucleus and enters the cytoplasm, where it directs the synthesis of the protein, which it encodes. Translation is the process of translating the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis.
