Write the number of each step in the space provided. 13. The codon following the start codon then receives the trna molecule with the complementary anticodon. The trna carries the amino acid specified by the codon. 14. Steps 2 5 are repeated until a stop codon is reached. The newly made protein is released into the cell. 15. The first trna detaches, leaves behind its amino acid, and moves away from the ribosome. 16. Enzymes help form a peptide bond between the amino acids of adjacent trna molecules. 17. The trna (with its growing protein chain) and mrna move one codon down, and the next codon is ready to receive the next trna and its amino acid. 18. An mrna, the ribosome, and a trna carrying the amino acid methionine bind together. The trna bonds to the start codon AUG. Holt Biology 22 DNA, RNA, and Proteins
