In other words, explain why tRNA is so important. How many different tRNA’s are there?arrow_forward
- Explain why the translation of a given mRNA can be inhibited by a segment of its complementary sequence, a so-called antisense RNA.arrow_forwardIn RNA, an atypical base pair is able to form between guanine and uracil. This base pair allows a single tRNA molecule to recognize more than one codon using its one anticodon sequence. It requires a shift in position of the two nucleotides. Guanine and uracil come together in this unusual pair via 2 hydrogen bonds. Based on what you know about hydrogen bond formation and base pairing, draw a guanine nucleotide and a uracil nucleotide hydrogen bound to one another.arrow_forwardIn how many cases in the genetic code would it NOT be possible to know the amino acid specified by a codon if only the first two nucleotides of the codon are known?arrow_forward
