MDCAT Biology QUESTION #11300
Question 1
Which of the following is the correct order of events in eukaryotic gene expression?
  • Transcription $\to$ RNA splicing $\to$ Translation $\to$ Protein folding✔️
  • Translation $\to$ Transcription $\to$ RNA splicing $\to$ Protein modification
  • Transcription $\to$ Translation $\to$ RNA splicing
  • RNA splicing $\to$ Transcription $\to$ Translation
Correct Answer Explanation
In eukaryotes, gene expression follows: transcription (DNA $\to$ pre-mRNA in nucleus) $\to$ RNA processing/splicing (removal of introns, addition of 5' cap and poly-A tail) $\to$ translation (mRNA $\to$ protein in cytoplasm) $\to$ protein folding and modification.
