a.
To explain: The meaning of saying that tRNA is a translator.
Introduction: The genetic information of DNA is based in the
b.
To fill: The given table using some of the codons and the amino acids.
Introduction: The genetic information of DNA is encrypted in the nucleotide base sequences. These sequences are transcribed into mRNA triplets and are called codons. These mRNA triplet nucleotides are then translated to form a polypeptide.

- If the genetic code used 4 bases at a time, how many amino acids could be encoded?arrow_forwardIf the mRNA produced had the sequence ACGCGU, What would be the tRNA anticodon sequence?arrow_forwardexplain why a mutation in the dna nucleotide sequence that corresponds to the 3rd nitrogen base in the mrna codon is not as serious as a mutation in the dna that corresponds to the first nitrogen base in the mrna codonarrow_forward
- Using a table that shows which codon represents which amino acid determine the following: A) The possible codons that encode Serine: B) The amino acids that could be encoded if the 2nd position of the UCA codon that encodes Serine was changed to one of the other 3 bases: C) The amino acids that could be encoded if the 3rd position of the UCA codon that encodes Serine was changed to one of the other 3 bases: D) The amino acids that could be encoded if the 1st position of the UCA codon that encodes Serine was changed to one of the other 3 bases:arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose that RNA polymerase was transcribing a eukaryotic gene with several introns all contained within the coding region. In what order would the RNA polymerase encounter the elements in the DNA sequence of the gene?

- If the sequence in the coding strand of DNA for a particular amino acid is 5'AGT3', then the anticodon on the corresponding tRNA would be ? Explain how to do thisarrow_forwardRefer to a genetic code table for the question. below is a portion of the template strand of a particular gene sequence. Which of the following would be the correct sequence of amino acids in the protein that this portion of the gene encodes? (Note that there are no entrance in this gene sequence, and this portion is found in the middle of the coding sequence, past the start codon, so you should transcribe and translate the entire portion of this sequence) template DNA : 3' - ACG GGT TCC TTT AAC GCG TAG -5' A) Thr-Gly-Ser-Phe-Asn-Ala B) Cys-Pro-Arg-Lys-Leu-Arg-Ile C) there is not enough information given to determine the amino acid sequence of this portion of the gene .arrow_forwardSuppose that codons consisted of 4 nucleotides instead of 3 and that there were only 2 different bases. How many amino acids could be encoded by this variant of the genetic code?arrow_forward
