Label the steps for protein synthesis in order, beginning with the first step.


Once the protein is made, the gene for a particular trait is expressed.


mRNA joins the ribosome, and the anticodons from tRNA join mRNA to form a chain of amino acids.


an enzyme unzips DNA and free RNA nucleotides join DNA to form mRNA.


A chain of amino acids is formed from peptide bonds, creating a protein.


mRNA is transported from the nucleus of the cell to the ribosomes of the cell.

1. An enzyme unzips DNA and free RNA nucleotides join DNA to form mRNA. (Transcription)

2. mRNA is transported from the nucleus of the cell to the ribosomes of the cell. (mRNA transport)

3. mRNA joins the ribosome, and the anticodons from tRNA join mRNA to form a chain of amino acids. (Translation — codon–anticodon pairing)

4. A chain of amino acids is formed from peptide bonds, creating a protein. (Polypeptide synthesis/termination)

5. Once the protein is made, the gene for a particular trait is expressed. (Gene expression/phenotype)
