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

The correct order of the processes of protein synthesis is:

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

So, the correct sequence is: 1, 6, 3, 2, 4, 5.
