Translation Practice

1

Order the following steps of translation.

The ribosome makes a peptide bond attaching the two amino acids (the met from the start codon and the next amino acid)
mRNA leaves the nucleus
The ribosome binds to the mRNA starting at the cap end
The mRNA, ribosome, tRNA, and polypeptide chain releases
The ribosome moves down the mRNA to the next codon (the one right after the start codon) and a new tRNA attaches to that codon
The anticodon on a tRNA carrying the amino acid met attaches to the start codon
The ribosome moves down the mRNA until it reaches a start codon (AUG)
The steps repeat until the ribosome reaches a stop codon
