The following statements outline steps associated to protein synthesis, however, they are out of order.
Statement A: mRNA is built from gene codes of DNA and released from the nucleus.
Statement B: The ribosome encounters a stop codon that triggers the release of the newly built protein.
Statement C: mRNA travels within the cytoplasm and binds to a ribosome initiating protein synthesis.
Statement D: A type of other RNA (called tRNA) carrying an amino acid enters the ribosome and pairs with the mRNA. Base pairing occurs, and amino acids are linked.
Statement E: The ribosome moves one mRNA codon forward, making space for a new tRNA amino acid complex to enter, and the process repeats to continue building the protein (polypeptide).
