Reorder
Reorder the following: What occurs first to last
In the nucleus, DNA is used as a template to make mRNA
mRNA leaves the nucleus & into the cytoplasm
Once in the cytoplasm, a ribosome attaches to mRNA
The ribosome reads the sequence of codons in mRNA
tRNA bring amino acids to the ribosome in the correct sequence
