The correct order of events during the synthesis of a specific protein is:
- B. DNA serves as a template for RNA production. (Transcription - RNA is synthesized from the DNA template in the nucleus.)
- E. RNA moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. (Once RNA is synthesized, it exits the nucleus.)
- A. Messenger RNA attaches to a ribosome. (Translation begins when mRNA binds to a ribosome in the cytoplasm.)
- C. Transfer RNA bonds to a specific codon. (tRNA matches its anticodon with mRNA codons to bring the correct amino acids.)
- D. Amino acids are bonded together. (During translation, the ribosome facilitates the bonding of amino acids together to form a protein.)
So, the correct order of these events is B → E → A → C → D. Thus, the answer is b.
