When a red blood cell is placed in water, the water molecules will enter the cell rapidly as a result of osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which molecules moves through a cell permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to that of higher concentration.
The inside of the red blood cell is more concentrated than the water in which it is placed, so water will move into the cell via osmosis. 
This will make the cell to swell up and to burst open.<span />

The amino acid chain breaks away from the ribosome and folds into a protein.
mezya [45]

The correct order of steps is 3, 2, 4, and 1.

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

It is a process whereby the genetic codes in transcribed mRNA molecules are translated into their respective amino acids.

The steps involved in translation are:

  • Transcribed mRNA leaves the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm where it gets attached to the ribosome
  • tRNA molecules bring the amino acids coded for by the RNA from the cytoplasm and begin to assemble them
  • The amino acid chain grows as the mRNA molecules are read by the translation machinery (the ribosome) and more amino acids are brought from the cytoplasm.
  • The amino acid chain breaks away from the ribosome and folds into a protein.

Thus, the step is 3,2,4, and 1.
