- 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).arrow_forwardWhat is a codon? What does it represent?arrow_forwardDescribe in detail all of the steps necessary to carry out translation. Amino acids, mRNA, 30S ribosome, 50S ribosome, tRNA, protein chain, E site, P site, and A site.arrow_forward
- how many polypeptide chain is the product of translation?arrow_forwardDescribe the steps of translation initiation,elongation, and termination.arrow_forwardIf there are 64 possible codons in the genetic code and the amino acid is specified by each, as read in the 5’ to 3’ direction from the mRNA sequence, which ones are STOP codons?arrow_forward
- Describe the steps that occur during the initiation, elongation, and termination stages of translation.arrow_forwardPlace the steps of translation in sequence. In whatmolecules are codons and anticodons found? What is apolyribosome?arrow_forwardThe following pattern has been observed in the genetic code. For many codons, the first base specifies a biosynthetic precursor: U = pyruvate, C = α-ketoglutarate, A = oxaloacetate, G = any of a number of simple precursors. The second base of the codon tends to be associated with water solubility: water-soluble amino acids have a G, A, or C as the middle position, whereas five of seven of the most hydrophobic amino acids have U as the middle base. The third base in a codon is often information free; that is, many of the codons for the same amino acid differ only with the third base. Review amino acid biosynthesis and determine which amino acids obey these rules. What are the exceptions?arrow_forward
