Question

Place these events in protein synthesis in the correct order.

The incoming nucleotides join to form mRNA.

A portion of DNA corresponding to one gene unzips.

Complementary RNA nucleotides stand next to the template strand of the unzipped DNA.

tRNA's drop off amino acids and leave.

Amino acids join with one another to form a protein.

Unpaired bases are exposed on the unzipped DNA.

mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches to a ribosome.

tRNA's line up next to complementary bases on the mRNA.

The new protein leaves.

tRNA's pick up amino acids and carry them to the ribosome.
