transcription
translation
DNA replication

Solutions

Expert Solution

The replication or duplication is strictly specific process thought which new copies of DNA strands form from the existing template strand of DNA. However, for the synthesis of polypeptide (protein) synthesis, it has to pass through three consecutive complex process named transcription (formation of m-RNA from the DNA), RNA processing (post-transciptional modification), and translation (synthesis of amino acids chain). Hence option (4) is the step in polypeptide (protein) synthesis.
