a. molecular weight of the unmodified protein.
b. the amino-terminal amino acid.
c. the location of disulfide bonds.
d. the number of amino acids in the protein.
e. whether the protein has the amino acid methionine in its sequence.

Is a major component of ribosomes. c. Specifies the order of amino acids in a protein, using a series of three-base codons, where different amino acids are specified by particular codons. d. Contains a three-base anticodon that pairs with a complementary codon revealed in the mRNA. e. Assists in making the bonds that link amino acids together to make a protein.

It describes mRNA that results in a single translation of several genes at a time. b. It guides the newly formed polypeptide/protein to the endoplasmic reticulum for further processing c. These are Nucleotide sequences resulting in stem loop structures in the mRNA , and subsequent falling off of the RNA polymerase from the mRNA strand. d. It is a A secondary structure in proteins where the amino acid chains aligned side-by-side with every other chain situated opposite the other, with chains being held together by hydrogen bondsarrow_forward
- There are 61 mRNA codons that specify an amino acid, but only 45 tRNAs. This is best explained by the fact that A. some tRNAs have anticodons that recognize two or more different codons. B. the rules for base pairing between the third base of a codon and tRNA are flexible. C. many codons are never used, so the tRNAs that recognize them are dispensable. D. A and B only E. A, B, and Carrow_forwardIf an MRNA is alternatively spliced, then different introns are removed from a pre-MRNA, producing transcripts that will potentially encode proteins with different primary structures. I. the MRNA is found in a bacterial cell. II. transcription and translation of the MRNA will occur simultaneously. the alternative splicing happened in the cytoplasm. IV. Ay different exons from a pre-mRNA will be spliced together. V. the different MRNAS will all have poly-A tails. VI.arrow_forwardA geneticist induces a mutation in eukaryote cells. The mutation results in an inability to form the poly(A) tail during processing of pre-mRNA. What does this mean for the mature mRNA and what will be the effect on these cells? Possible Answers: A.
