Chapter 4, Problem 47P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason for the doubt in the reported amino acid substitution by a molecular geneticist needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides is called a codon. The three-nucleotide sequence or codon corresponds to a specific amino acid, and these codons are interpreted by the tRNA. The tRNA also contains the anticodon which recognizes and interprets the codons on the mRNA. The tRNA binds to its corresponding codon on the ribosome and they decode the mRNA until the whole sequence is coded. The sequences can be mutated, and they can give rise to new proteins and genes.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The amino acid sequence, more palatable to the molecular geneticist needs to be determined.
