mRNA is translated into amino acids.

tRNA delivers the DNA to the ribosome.
tRNA delivers the DNA to the ribosome.

DNA is replicated into two daughter cells.

Answer 1

Stella missed the step where mRNA is translated into amino acids. This step occurs after mRNA is transcribed from DNA and before the amino acid chain is formed.
