To create a functional hormone, insulin pre-mRNA is first made during the process of transcription in the nucleus. It is then modified and exported out of the nucleus. Next, a BLANK (a specific molecule in the cell) carries-out translation using tRNAs to translate the sequence into amino acids. The polypeptide is further processed and then secreted from the cell.
