Final answer:
In the elongation phase of prokaryotic translation, the sequential steps are the binding of mRNA to the small ribosomal subunit, recognition of the start codon, base pairing of initiator tRNA, joining of the large ribosomal subunit, and pairing of subsequent tRNAs.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct chronological order of the events of elongation in prokaryotic translation are as follows:
- Binding of mRNA with small ribosomal subunit.
- Recognition of initiation codon.
- Complementary base pairing between initiator codon and anticodon of initiator tRNA.
- Attachment of the large subunit.
- Pairing of the mRNA codon following the initiator codon with its complementary tRNA.
Therefore, the correct sequence of events is: 1, 2, 3, 5, 4.
