For the numbered site below, select the option that places them in the correct order.
1)The ribosome binds to the m RNA and uses tRNAs to translate mRNA into the corresponding amino acid polypeptide sequence.
2)The spliceosome removes introns
3)The primary structure of the polypeptide chain undergoes hierarchical foldings to form the tertiary structure.
4)RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene and initiates transcription

The correct order is:

4, 2, 1, 3

Explanation:

The list of options in this question depicts gene expression which involves transcription and translation processes.

Option 4 is simply describing the initial step of transcription where the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and signals the initiation of transcription. RNA polymerase synthesizes a complementary strand of mRNA using the DNA it binds to as template.

Option 2 is a post-transcriptional process called SPLICING, which is the removal of the non-coding regions of a gene called INTRONS by enzymes called SPLICEOSOMES. This occurs in eukaryotic cell before the mRNA leaves the nucleus for the cytoplasm where translation will take place.

Option 1 signals the commencement of translation where a complex of ribosomal RNA and other proteins called RIBOSOME attaches to the mRNA molecule and uses the anticodons present in the tRNA to read the mRNA codons in order to carry the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome. The anticodons of the tRNA are complementary to the mRNA codon. At the end of translation, an amino acid sequence called polypeptide (future protein) will be released.

Option 3 tells us what happens after the translation process. The amino acids in the newly released protein are arranged in such a way that they make the protein a primary structure. The amino acids undergo certain modifications like folding that changesges the protein's structure from primary to tertiary.

the answer is d. none of the above
