thus the major steps in the production of a globin chain are the transcription of large-molecular-weight precursor mrna ( hn rna ) from the appropriate gene , the cleavage of hn rna to produce definitive template mrna which diffuses into the cell cytoplasm , the processes of chain initiation , translation , and termination , and finally the association of subunits to form a stable tetramer .
