Listed below are the major steps in protein synthesis and some events that do not occur during protein synthesis. From the list select those events that do occur in protein synthesis and place the letters of these steps in the correct chronological order. A) DNA attaches to ribosomes B) Amino acids bond to mRNA C) mRNA processed (introns removed) D) amino acids carried by tRNA joined together E) mRNA leaves nucleus F) DNA replicates itself G) mRNA replicates itself H) mRNA attaches to ribosomes I) mRNA produced using DNA as template J) tRNA and mRNA become part of finished protein K) tRNA anticodons bond to mRNA codons Solution Translation is the process where synthesis of appropriate amino acid and polypeptide chain takes place taking mRNA synthesized from the target DNA sequence as a reference. Translation takes place in the cytoplasm over the ribosomes of rough endoplasmic reticulum by a comprehensive action of mRNA, tRNA and other accessory ingredients by utilization of energy in the form of ATP. The sequential process of translation can be found as below: F) DNA replicates itself I) mRNA produced using DNA as template G) mRNA replicates itself E) mRNA leaves nucleus C) mRNA processed (introns removed) H) mRNA attaches to ribosomes D) amino acids carried by tRNA joined together K) tRNA anticodons bond to mRNA codons B) Amino acids bond to mRNA From the sequence above, it can be seen that the point A, i.e. DNA binds to ribosomes, is not included. This is because DNA does not bind directly to the ribosomes during any part of translation. Conversly, DNA is transcribed into mRNA which is translated into amino acid polypeptide on the ribosomes. Also, the point J) tRNA and mRNA become part of finished protein, is not included because tRNA and mRNA are never the part of finished protein. The protein is translated from the mRNA sequence by utilizing tRNA function..
