Question

Arrange the following events in the order in which they occur during gene expression. Begin with the first event to occur at the top of the list.

A. Transcription
B. Translation
C. Post-translational modifications
D. RNA processing

Answer 1

The correct order of events during gene expression is transcription, RNA processing, translation, and post-translational modifications.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Transcription
2. RNA processing
3. Translation
4. Post-translational modifications

The correct order of events during gene expression is as follows:

1. Transcription: Occurs first, where DNA is transcribed into RNA in the nucleus.
2. RNA processing: Occurs after transcription, where the RNA molecule is modified by adding a 5' cap, poly-A tail, and removing introns.
3. Translation: Occurs in the cytoplasm, where the mRNA is read by the ribosome and translated into a protein using tRNA.
4. Post-translational modifications: Occurs after translation, where the protein undergoes modifications such as folding or addition of chemical groups.
