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).
In the gene-coding sequence shown here, which of the following events will produce a frameshift after the last mutational site? a. insertion of an A after the first codon b. deletion of the second codon (AAA) c. insertion of TA after the second codon and deletion of CG in the fourth codon d. deletion of AC in the third codon
Which of the following cannot be said regarding aminoacyl tRNA synthetase? It is essential for the correct reading of codons. A single tRNA synthetase can attach different amino acids to their corresponding tRNA. It is first activated when it catalyzes a reaction between ATP and an amino acid to form an aminoacyladenylic acid (amino acyl-AMP). It is responsible for the attachment of the correct amino acid to the correct tRNA. There is a different tRNA synthetase for each amino acid that will be attached to a tRNA.
The covalent attachment of an amino acid to a tRNA is an endergonic reaction. In other words, it requires an input of energy for the reaction to proceed. Where does the energy come from to attach amino acids to tRNA molecules?
Which of the following enzymes adds a new amino acid to the growing chain of a protein during protein synthesis? a. aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase b. peptidyl synthetase c. peptidyl transferase d. ribosomal synthetase
Which of the following is not true? A.) A single activating enzyme can interact with all the tRNAs for its corresponding amino acid B.) The selectivity of the aminoacyl-tRNA sunthetases for their tRNA molecules is oftern called the second Genetic code C.) There are two major classes of aminoacyl-tRNA syntetases D.) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases link amino acids to tRNA molecules without the need for an energy source
Which of the following statements about translation is false? In eukaryotes, the 5' cap and the 3' poly(A) tail are involved in translation initiation. Peptidyl-transferase activity during translation is the property of a ribozyme. A base at the first position of an anticodon on the tRNA would pair with a base at the third position of the mRNA. The growing peptide chain is transferred from the tRNA in the P site to the tRNA in the A site. Ribosomes move along an mRNA in the 3’ → 5' direction.
In which of the ribosomal sites, the A site, P site, and/or E site, could the following be found? A. A tRNA without an amino acid attached B. A tRNA with a polypeptide attached C. A tRNA with a single amino acid attached
Which of the following steps in protein synthesis does not require a direct supply of energy? a. proofreading step by certain aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases b. translocation of mRNA in a ribosome c. linkage of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA d. alignment of a tRNA anticodon with an mRNA codon
In regard to the wobble hypothesis and the fact that cells do not need a full complement of tRNAs for codons. What would the consequences be if a cell lost the tRNA gene with the following anticodon sequences Please explain in depth A. 3'-ACA-5' B. 3'-CUG-5'
The peptide bond formation is catalyzed by a. the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase b. tRNA c. the small ribosomal subunit d. the large ribosomal subunit
Which of the following best describes a sequence of events that happens during the elongation phase of translation? Group of answer choices A charged tRNA enters the P site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the A site; an tRNA bound to a peptide exits the E site. None of these is an accurate description A charged tRNA enters the A site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the P site; an uncharged tRNA exits the E site. An uncharged tRNA enters the A site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the P site; a charged tRNA exits the E site. A charged tRNA enters the A site of a ribosome; a tRNA bound to a peptide moves to the E site; an tRNA bound to a peptide exits the A site.
