Question

dna has an important role in making proteins, the biomolecules that help determine our traits as well as take part in chemical reactions throughout our bodies. can you correctly order the steps in protein synthesis? source target mrna moves to ribosome; contains codons. amino acids joined with peptide bonds to create protein. mrna leaves nucleus with code for protein. trna brings anticodons to ribosome to match mrna codons. amino acids ordered at ribosome. dna in nucleus acts as template for mrna; called transcription.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis begins with DNA in the nucleus acting as a template for mRNA (transcription). Then mRNA leaves the nucleus with the protein code. Next, mRNA moves to the ribosome (which contains codons). tRNA brings anticodons to the ribosome to match mRNA codons. Amino acids are ordered at the ribosome. Finally, amino acids are joined with peptide bonds to create a protein.

Answer:

1. DNA in nucleus acts as template for mRNA; called transcription.
2. mRNA leaves nucleus with code for protein.
3. mRNA moves to ribosome; contains codons.
4. tRNA brings anticodons to ribosome to match mRNA codons.
5. Amino acids ordered at ribosome.
6. Amino acids joined with peptide bonds to create protein.
