The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer:

1. Fish skin collagen has excellent thermo-stability and tensile strength making it ideal for use as bandage that adheres to the skin and adjusts to body movements.

2. Collagen, one of the main structural proteins in connective tissues in the human body, is well known for promoting skin regeneration.

3. Fish skin swims in here as diseases and bacteria that affect fish are different from most human pathogens.

4. The risk of introducing disease agents into other species through the use of pig and cow collagen proteins for wound healing has inhibited its broader applications in the medical field.

Answer & solution

Answer: 2431

Sentence 2 opens: collagen is a key protein known for promoting skin regeneration.

Sentence 4 states the problem: using pig and cow collagen for wound healing risks spreading disease, which has limited its use.

Sentence 3 brings in the solution: 'Fish skin swims in here', because fish diseases differ from human pathogens.

Sentence 1 adds further benefits of fish skin collagen as a bandage.

Shortcut: problem (4) → solution (3) → further advantages (1). 'Swims in here' needs the problem to come first.

Hence, the answer is 2431.
