Can you help me place the steps of protein synthesis in the correct order from first to last? Place the steps of protein synthesis in the correct order from first to last- any help would be appreciated! thanks

1 The amino acids are joined together and the amino acid chain is transferred from one tRNA to the newly entered tRNA.

2 The ribosome mRNA complex falls apart and the protein takes its three dimensional shape.

3 The mRNA strand is processed so that the exons are removed and the introns are joined together.

4 The stop codon is read resulting in a release factor.

5 The ribosome shifts along the mRNA strand freeing up the A site

6 The completed mRNA strand is exported from the nucleus.

7 A tRNA brings the start codon (AUG) to the ribosome.

8 A third tRNA carries a new amino acid to the newly freed A site, this continues until the end of the strand is reached.

9 RNA polymerase unwinds the DNA double helix and uses the DNA nucleotides as a template to determine the RNA nucleotide sequence.

10 A tRNA carrying an amino acid comes to the ribosome entering the A site
