Is this right?
mRNA transcript is made; RNA polymerase attaches to DNA; ribosome attaches to mRNA

Try this order:
1. RNA polymerase attaches to DNA (RNA polymerase is the enzyme that makes RNA)
2. mRNA transcript is made
3. ribosome attaches to mRNA

Following this:
4. translation begins
5. tRNA brings amino acids one at a time
6. protein or polypeptide is completed

RNA polymerase is an enzyme (that is why it ends in -ase) that makes RNA molecules. mRNA is an example of an RNA molecule. You have two steps containing RNA molecules which means that the RNA molecules must be made before you can do anything with them. Based on what I just wrote, you should know which step is first. You have another step that has 'mRNA transcript is made'. Therefore anything else with mRNA as part of the process must come after the mRNA is made. Now you should know the correct order of the three events, and hopefully you realize that they are out of order (in other words, the answer to your second question is "no").
