A certain mRNA strand has the following nucleotide sequence: 5AUGACGUAUAACUUU3 What is the anticodon for each codon? What is the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide? (Use Figure 13-5 to help answer this question.) Figure 13-5 The genetic code The genetic code specifies all possible combinations of the three bases that compose codons in mRNA. Of the 64 possible codons, 61 specify amino acids (see Figure 3-17 for an explanation of abbreviations). The codon AUG specifies the amino acid methionine and also signals the ribosome to initiate translation (start). Three codonsUAA, UGA, and UAGdo not specify amino acids; they terminate polypeptide synthesis (stop).

A scientist studies the production of a key digestive enzyme in silk moths. The moths have one gene for this enzyme, and the scientist extracts mRNA transcribed from this gene as well as protein translated from it. The gene has three introns in its sequence. If the researcher compares mRNA from inside the nucleus to mRNA from the ribosomes, what will be found? A. less mRNA in the nucleus B. shorter mRNA in the ribosomes C. identical mRNAs in both places D. mRNA covalently attached to protein in the nucleus
A particular tRNA is mutated so that the amino acid attachment cannot bind with the aminoacyl-tRNA synthase. What happens when an mRNA transcript contains the codon for this tRNA? A. The tRNA will not bind to this codon. B. Translation stops and the protein is released. C The wrong tRNA is added to the protein chain. D. Translation stops and the protein remains bound to the ribosome.
The ribosome is needed for translation of mRNA (a) because it has the enzyme for adding amino acids to the 5’ end of a tRNA (b) because the ribosomal RNA contains the codon which determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein (c) because it positions tRNA and mRNA so that correct pairing of codon and anti-codon can occur (d) because it has an enzyme that removes introns from mRNA (e) all of the above
