Question 3

Here are some of the events that occur during protein synthesis:

  1. mRNA attaches to a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
  2. DNA unwinds to expose the gene template.
  3. tRNA molecules bring amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
  4. RNA polymerase builds a complementary mRNA strand.

What is the correct order of these events?

A

2→1→4→32 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 32→1→4→3

B

2→4→1→32 \rightarrow 4 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 32→4→1→3

C

4→2→1→34 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 34→2→1→3

D

4→1→2→34 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 34→1→2→3
