Final answer:

The correct order of steps in protein synthesis begins with transcription in the nucleus, followed by mRNA moving to the ribosome, and culminating in translation where the protein is assembled.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of protein synthesis involves a series of steps that convert the genetic information encoded in DNA into a functional protein. This process consists of two main phases: transcription and translation. The correct order of events starting from DNA in the nucleus to the formation of a protein is as follows:

  1. Transcription occurs in the nucleus where DNA unzips and is used as a template to synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA).
  2. After transcription, the resulting mRNA moves out of the nucleus and travels to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
  3. Translation then occurs, where the mRNA is decoded by the ribosome and a protein is assembled with the help of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.
