6.mRNA leaves the nucleus

1 answer

The correct order of the processes of protein synthesis is as follows:

  1. DNA strands unwind and separate (2)
  2. mRNA copies DNA according to complementary base pairing (1)
  3. mRNA leaves the nucleus (6)
  4. tRNA's anticodons bring amino acids to the corresponding mRNA codons (4)
  5. amino acids bind to each other making a protein (3)
  6. a stop codon is reached, the newly formed protein is released to go do its job for the cell (5)

So the ordered list is: 2, 1, 6, 4, 3, 5.
