Answer:

Option (2).

Explanation:

Skin may be defined as the largest organ of the body. Skin provides the first line of defense in the organisms. The skin secretes different enzymes and chemicals that kill the pathogens.

The patient with the burned skin are more susceptible to the pathogen and has weakened immune system. To cover the burned skin surface, skin can be taken from the other body parts as the skin has the same property and shows the same antigen as the replaced skin.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

Which occurs during transcription? DNA is copied to create a second DNA strand. mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons assemble amino a
Novosadov [1.4K]

During transcription, mRNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. This process usually takes place in the cell nucleus and is carried out with the help of an enzyme called RNA polymerase.

mRNA  plays the role of a messenger hence the term messenger RNA or  mRNA in short. Information for synthesis of a specific protein is transcribed on mRNA in the nucleus of the cell. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm and attaches onto a  ribosome. Ribosomes are cell structures fondly called the "work bench " of the cell.

It is in the ribosomes that the information brought by mRNA is translated or decoded and used to synthesize the specific protein that was coded for.
