New cards

Step 1

A section of DNA containing a gene is copied and a messenger molecule called mRNA is formed.

2
New cards

Step 2

The messenger molecule (mRNA) carries the DNA copy to the cytoplasm.

3
New cards

Step 3

The messenger molecule (mRNA) is fed through the ribosome 3 bases at a time.

4
New cards

Step 4

Transfer molecules called tRNA bring the correct AA (amino acid) from the cytoplasm to the ribosome.

5
New cards

Step 5

Transfer molecules (tRNA) drop amino acids (AA) off at the ribosome.

6
New cards

Step 6

The AA (amino acids) are linked together to form a long protein chain.
