- Which describes the correct sequence of steps of protein synthesis? Group of answer choices The DNA strand unzips and a complementary mRNA strand is copied. The mRNA travels to the ribosome where tRNA "reads" it and brings the appropriate amino acids indicated by the mRNA strand nucleotide bases. The string of amino acids creates a peptide chain. Multiple peptide chains create a protein. The RNA strand travels to the ribosome where the DNA strand "reads" it and brings the appropriate amino acids indicated by the RNA strand nucleotide bases.
