Question

prediction: rna determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins and polypeptides by a two - step process: transcription of dna produces mrna in the nucleus, then translation of the mrna to trna takes place in the ribosome in the cytoplasm. the words underlined above are the key processes of the exploration. complete the following sentences. transcription produces mrna. translation takes place in the ribosome. use the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to place the protein creation steps below in the correct order. ribosome attaches to the mrna. information is transcribed in dna to mrna. trna anticodon carries an amino acid that compliments the mrna codon. mrna leaves the nucleus. the chain of amino acids forms a protein.

Explanation:

Step1: Start with DNA transcription

Information is transcribed in DNA to mRNA. (2)

Step2: mRNA moves out of nucleus

mRNA leaves the nucleus. (3)

Step3: Ribosome attachment

Ribosome attaches to the mRNA. (1)

Step4: tRNA - amino acid delivery

tRNA anticodon carries an amino acid that compliments the mRNA codon. (4)

Step5: Protein formation

The chain of amino acids forms a protein. (5)

Answer:

2, 3, 1, 4, 5
