Concept explainers
To determine:
The amino acid sequence of the product formed by the DNA molecule with
Concept introduction:
The unit of genetic code, which has three nucleotides that code for amino acids, is called codon. The mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) got attached to the ribosomal complex in the cytoplasm. The transfer RNA conveys amino acids to the ribosomal complex where the pairing of an anticodon of tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) takes place with a complementary codon of the messenger RNA.
Again, new amino acid is carried by tRNA, which again binds to the complementary codon of mRNA. In this way, amino acids get linked to each other, forming the long chain of the polypeptides.
