Question

List the steps involved in protein synthesis, beginning with the DNA code in the nucleus and ending with a polypeptide. Try to explain it in 10 steps.

Answer 1

1. information from the DNA is transcribed to mRNA
2. mRNA leaves the nuclues
3. mRNA goes to the ribosome
4. tRNA comes with anticodons and an amino acid
5. tRNA matches his anticodons with one of mRNA's codons
6. when matched, tRNA will drop his amino acid
7. more tRNAs will come with amino acids
8. the tRNAs will match themselves with mRNA and drop the amino acids
9. the amino acids will start to link together and create a polypeptide chain
10. the end polypeptide chain makes a protein
