Put the steps of translation in the correct order from 1-5. question 2 options: the anticodon of the trna, with its attached amino acid, pairs to the codon of the mrna, which is attached to the ribosome. this sequence is repeated until the ribosome reaches a stop codon on the mrna, which signals the end of protein synthesis. the empty trna moves off and picks up another matching amino acid from the cytoplasm in the cell. the ribosome forms a peptide bond between amino acids, and an amino acid chain begins to form. when a second trna with its specific amino acid pairs to the next codon in sequence, the attached amino acid breaks from the first trna and is bonded to the amino acid of the second trna.
