- You are studying a eukaryotic gene in which translation normally begins at the second AUG in the mRNA (underlined). The sequence surrounding both AUGs is CGGAUGCACAGGACAUCCUACCUACGGAGAUGA.... Predict the effects of the following mutations on the translation of this mRNA. Present the new sequence, highlight the changes in the sequence and consider the best context for translation. a. Change the first and second C to G b. Change the first and second C to G and also change the UAC codon before the second AUG to UAG.arrow_forward1. Translation a)Explain the role of ribosomes in the process of protein translation.b. Explain the role of tRNA molecules in protein translation.c. Define the following terms:1. codon 2. anticodon.

- Explain why mature mRNA transcripts is a different size that pre-mRNA transcripts. Be sure to include the name of the protein-ribonucleotide complex that’s involved.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a ribosome in the process of translating an mRNA with a sequence: 5'...AUGCCGUAUGCUCUUUAA..3' a) The right side shows the ribosome with an empty A site aligned with the codon 5'UAU3'. The next tRNA to occupy the A site on the ribosome will have what anti-codon sequence (label 5' and 3')? Keep in mind the wobble pairing rules and make sure your answer is consistent with the genetic code. Explain your answer. b) Suppose, just as the ribosome started translating the mRNA, the cell suddenly lost all of its alanine tRNAs. Using the figure as a guide, draw and label the state the ribosome would arrest in.arrow_forwarda. Identify the type of mutation shown below. b. How many amino acids are affected? c.
