Question

put the steps for transcription and translation in the correct order.

1. dna passes its code, made up of special sequences called nucleotide bases, to a single - stranded molecule called mrna.
2. each codon sends a signal to another type of rna, called trna, to bring a specific amino acid to the ribosome.
3. as each amino acid is added, they bond together to form a chain called a polypeptide.
4. once complete, this polypeptide chain folds into a protein.
5. mrna then takes this code out to the cytoplasm, where ribosomes are located. ribosomes are the places in the cell where proteins are made.
6. when mrna arrives at the ribosome, the ribosome reads the code in groups of three bases, which are called codons. each set of three bases (a codon) codes for one amino acid.
7. the trna has an anticodon that matches the codon to make sure the correct amino acid is being added to the chain.

Explanation:

Transcription and translation steps:

1. DNA passes its code to mRNA.
2. mRNA takes the code to the cytoplasm (ribosomes).
3. Ribosome reads mRNA in codons (groups of three bases).
4. tRNA brings amino acids (matches codon - anticodon).
5. Amino acids bond to form polypeptide.
6. Polypeptide folds into protein.
