3. mRNA attaches to a ribosome

4. As the mRNA moves through the ribosomes, a tRNA molecule arrives transporting the correct amino acid

5. Newly arriving amino acids are connected to the growing polypeptide by peptide bonds

6. When a stop codon is reached, the protein is released from the ribosome.
