Place the following in the order that they occur during transcription initiation: 1 - formation of open complex; 2 - formation of closed complex;
3 promoter clearance; 4 - synthesis of about 10 nucleotides

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order for transcription initiation is: formation of a closed complex, formation of an open complex, synthesis of about 10 nucleotides, and then promoter clearance. However, there seems to be a typographical error in the choices provided. The logical sequence based on the process described should be 2 (formation of closed complex), 1 (formation of open complex), 4 (synthesis of about 10 nucleotides), and then 3 (promoter clearance). The correct sequence isn't listed as provided, indicating a mistake in the question's options. The intended correct sequence likely aimed to be 2,1,4,3, but due to a typographical error, choice B is the closest match despite its repetition and error.
