Ineed ! this is a 30 point ! which statement best describes the steps leading up to protein synthesis? ( 1 )the translation of dna to rna occurs in the cytoplasm; then, the transcription of rna occurs in the nucleus. ( 2 )the transcription of dna to rna occurs in the cytoplasm; then, the translation of rna occurs in the nucleus. ( 3 )the translation of dna to rna occurs in the nucleus; then, the transcription of rna occurs in the cytoplasm. ( 4 ) the transcription of dna to rna occurs in the nucleus; then, the translation of rna occurs in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis involves two major steps:

Transcription involves the formation of a nucleotide sequence complementary to the DNA molecule, with the pairing of a different base, Uracil, with Guanine instead of the usual Thymine base. This occurs in the nucleus of the cell, and the resulting molecule is known as the mRNA.

This mRNA is transported into the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore for the next step, translation. This is primarily accomplished by ribosomes and tRNA molecules which are present in the cytoplasm of the cell. The result of this step is the generation of a protein molecule.
