Question

a) The mRNA for growth hormone is processed and exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

b) The mRNA for growth hormone is translated by the ribosome using tRNAs to bring in the proper amino acids.

c) RNA polymerase begins transcribing mRNA complimentary to the growth hormone gene's template strand.

d) Translation is terminated when the ribosome reaches a stop codon and the growth hormone protein is released.

e) Proteins help RNA polymerase attach to the promoter of the growth hormone gene.

f) The growth hormone protein functions to make the fish eat and grow.

These are obviously out of order, but what is the best sequence to put them in to illustrate the steps of transcription and translation?
