Which of the Following Occurs First

Question

Which of the following occurs first?
A) Reading the mRNA code by tRNA
B) mRNA leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pores
C) Transcription
D) Translation

Accepted Answer

Transcription occurs first, as it is the process of creating mRNA from DNA within the nucleus. Once the mRNA is created, it can then leave the nucleus through the nuclear pores (B) to begin the process of translation (D), where the mRNA code is read by tRNA to create a protein.
