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).
Transcription vs Translation in DNA. Transcription and translation are the steps through which a functional protein is synthesized from the genetic material, DNA. These processes are found to occur both in prokaryotes as well as eukaryotes. Transcription. This is the synthesis of RNA chain. This RNA sequences forms the template for formation of proteins. Complementary bases get attached to the DNA sequence and these in turn are bonded with phosphoric acid bonds forming the RNA.
