We covered transcription and translation in our lab this week. Below, you'll find several steps required for protein synthesis. However, they're not in the conted

order. Copy and paste these steps into your own post. Then place the steps in the correct order with the first step at the top of the list and the last step at the
bottom of the list
• mRNA connects with a ribosome
• mRNA is built based on the DNA template
• mRNA leaves the nucleus
• The 2 strands of DNA separate
The entire mRNA strand is translated into amino acids and a polypeptide is formed
• The mRNA + attached tRNA shifts, moving the tRNA from the A site to the P site
• RNA brings an amino acid into the A site
• RNA brings an amino acid into the P site
• tRNA leaves the P site and a peptide bond is formed between the amino acids

Answer:

The correct answer is :

  • The 2 strands of DNA separate
  • mRNA is built based on the DNA template
  • mRNA leaves the nucleus
  • tRNA brings an amino acid into the P site.
  • tRNA brings an amino acid into the A site.
  • tRNA leaves the P site and a peptide bond is formed between the amino acids.
  • The mRNA+attached tRNA shifts, moving the 6-tRNA from A site to the P site.
  • The entire mRNA strand is translated into amino acids and a polypeptide is formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein synthesis is a process that is made up of two distinct processes namely transcription and translation.

Transcription: this process include several steps where the segment of DNA which has information, copied into the new molecule called mRNA which acts as the template as it has information copied from the DNA to produce gene expression.

Translation: is the process includes several steps in which a peptide chain is formed from the mRNA with the help of tRNA and ribosomes.

The correct order of steps is given under the answer heading.
