Students have asked these similar questions
The ribosome is needed for translation of mRNA
(a) because it has the enzyme that forms peptide bonds between amino acids (b) because the ribosomal RNA contains the codon which determine the sequence of amino acids in a protein (c) because it contains the enzyme that links the amino acids and tRNA (d) because it has enzyme that removes introns from mRNA (e) all of the above
What is the genetic code?
a. The relationship between a three-base codon sequence and an amino acid or the end of translation
b. The entire base sequence of an mRNA molecule
c. The entire sequence from the promoter to the terminator of a gene
d. The binding of tRNA to mRNA
