How do DNA and mRNA vaccines produce spike proteins ? each item into the correct category.mRNA______________________________DNA___________________Both______________1) has an artificial membrane to allow it into the human cell2)completes the translation process to create spike proteins that mimic SARA-CoV-2 spike proteins 3)is brought into a cell through an inactivated adenovirus4) completes transcription prior to translation

To answer this we need to remember quickly how each vaccine works. In the case of RNA a messenger RNA (mRNA) that codes for spike protein is created, then inserted into an artificial membrane so it can access de cell and code for the protein, on the other hand, in the DNA vaccine, the gene for spike protein is inserted into a harmless virus, which will travel and enter the target cells so the spike protein can be produced, si taking this into consideration we can say that the order is as follows:

mRNA: 1

DNA: 3, 4

Both: 2
