E)unwinding of two strands of mRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unwinding of two strands of mRNA is not a step in protein synthesis. The correct sequence of steps in protein synthesis is activation of tRNA, initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the mRNA strand is bound to the ribosome, and during elongation, the ribosome moves along the mRNA strand, reading the codons and adding the appropriate amino acids to the growing peptide chain. Unwinding of the two strands of DNA occurs during transcription, which is the process by which mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template.
