Chapter 3, Problem 16CYR

Number the following steps of protein synthesis in the order in which they occur, starting with 1 and ending with 9.

a._____The stop codon is reached, and the polypeptide is released.

b._____The small ribosomal subunit finds the start codon, and the large ribosomal subunit joins.

c._____The end of the gene is reached, and the pre-mRNA is released and then edited.

d._____The transcription factor binds the promoter.

e._____The protein is folded and modified to become functional.

f._____RNA polymerase builds the mRNA transcript.

g._____mRNA and initiator tRNA bind the small ribosomal subunit.

h._____New tRNAs are brought into the A site successively, and the peptide chain of the tRNA in the P site is joined to the amino acid of the tRNA in the A site.

i._____mRNA exits the nucleus via a nuclear pore.
