Protein synthesis is the process of making proteins using the instructions embedded in DNA. Based on what you’ve learned in this narrative, what are the steps of protein synthesis?

Question

Put the order of the steps in the correct sequence.
amino acids from a chain
the amino acid chain is folded into protein in the endoplasmic reticulum
mRNA is translated into amino acids
DNA is transcribed into mRNA

Answer 1

The correct sequence of steps in protein synthesis is as follows:

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