|
transcription
|
|
|
translation

|
replication

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The last step in protein synthesis is termination. During termination, the ribosome reads the stop codon in the mRNA. This codon signals the ribosome to release the polypeptide chain. The ribosome subunits separate and the polypeptide chain is freed to fold in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Translation is the second step of protein synthesis. Once transcription and the following processing are complete, translation is initiated. This is where the newly created mRNA’s genetic code is read and used to produce protein molecules. Once mRNA leaves the nucleus it travels to a ribosome.
