The correct order of steps in translation is activation, Initiation, elongation and termination.

1.Activation- The correct amino acid is joined to the correct transfer RNA (tRNA). Though in strict sense this is not a step in translation, nevertheless it is required for translation to proceed.

2.Initiation- the small subunit of the ribosome binds to the 5' end of mRNA with the help of initiation factors.

  1. Elongation- next tRNA in line binds to the ribosome.
  1. Termination- Occurs when the A-site of the ribosome faces a stop codon
