Recall the steps of building a protein. Number the steps in the correct order (1 through 5).

[] Transcribe the DNA to create the mRNA.
[] Match the mRNA codons to their tRNA anticodons and the attached amino acids.
[] Preform dehydration synthesis to build the amino acid chain in the ribosome.
[] Locate the start, stop, and other codons on the mRNA.
[] Identify the antisense strand of the DNA within the call nucleus.

Final answer:

The correct order for the steps of building a protein is: 1) Identifying the antisense DNA strand, 2) Transcription of DNA into mRNA, 3) Locating codons on mRNA, 4) Matching mRNA codons to tRNA anticodons and attached amino acids, and 5) Performing dehydration synthesis to assemble the amino acid chain into a protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of Building a Protein in Order

  1. Identify the antisense strand of the DNA within the cell nucleus.
  2. Transcribe the DNA to create the mRNA.
  3. Locate the start, stop, and other codons on the mRNA.
  4. Match the mRNA codons to their tRNA anticodons and the attached amino acids.
  5. Perform dehydration synthesis to build the amino acid chain in the ribosome.

The process of protein synthesis begins with the identification of the antisense DNA strand, from which the mRNA is created through transcription. Once the mRNA leaves the nucleus and moves to the ribosome, each of its codons is matched with the complementary anticodons on tRNA molecules, each bringing with it a specific amino acid. Finally, dehydration synthesis occurs to form the amino acid chain, which folds into the final protein structure.
