Question

Place the steps of transcription in order:

1. RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA template

2. The mRNA strand moves out of the nucleus

3. Base pairing forms mRNA

4. The DNA strand separates

Group of answer choices

1, 3, 4, 2

1, 4, 3, 2

4, 1, 3, 2

4, 3, 1, 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C. 4, 1, 3, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription can be described as a process by which mRNA is made by DNA.

The two DNA strands separate or unwind. Then the RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA strand. A new strand is formed complementary to the template strand which is known as the mRNA. Then the newly synthesized strand is moved out of the nucleus into the ribosomes present in the cytoplasm. The ribosomes are the sites where translation happens. The translation is the process by which proteins are made.
