When singal m-RNA is associated with multiple number of ribosome, it is called ?

Following are the stages in the cellular synthesis of a protein. I. Movement of mRNA from the nucleus to cytoplasm. II. Linking of adjacent amino acid molecules. III. Transcription of mRNA from a DNA template. IV. Formation of the polypeptide chain. V. Attachment of the mRNA strand to a ribosome. In which order do these stages take place?

Assertion. A single mRNA strand is capable of forming a number of different polypeptide chains. Reason. The mRNA strand has terminator codons.

The following features occur during protein synthesis: (a) Movement of mRNA from the nucleus into the cytoplasm, where it binds to the ribosomes (b) Formation of tRNA-amino acid complex (c) Transcription of specific segments of DNA into mRNA molecules in the nucleus (d) Binding of N-terminal amino acid, methionine tRNA to the 'P' site of the ribosome. The tRNA anticodon 'pairs with AUG on mRNA' (e) Formation of peptide bond between first and second amino acids at the A site (f) Release of the complete polypeptide chain from mRNA and the ribosomes (g) Migration of dipeptide to form a tripeptide and then a polypeptide The correct order of events is:
