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).
The process of transcription transfers the cell's genetic information between DNA and RNA. Translation is the process by which the cell uses the RNA to create essential proteins. The relationship between DNA and RNA. Translation takes place in the cell's ribosomes, where ribosomal RNA is located. The cell uses mRNA and transfer RNA to create amino acids, which are then used to form proteins.
