Stella described protein synthesis as a process that makes the necessary proteins for the human body to function. She explained the process in the following steps.

DNA is transcribed into mRNA.
Amino acids form a chain.
The amino acid chain is folded into a protein in the endoplasmic reticulum.

mRNA is translated into amino

1 answer

Stella missed the step where mRNA is translated into amino acids. This step occurs after mRNA is transcribed from DNA and before the amino acids form a chain. Therefore, the correct response is:

mRNA is translated into amino acids.
