A researcher identifies the nucleotide sequence AAC in a long strand of RNA inside a nucleus. In the genetic code, AAC codes for the amino acid asparagine. When that RNA becomes involved in protein synthesis, will asparagine necessarily appear in the protein? Use specific content to support your argument.
Use your genetic code (codon) table to answer this question:
A tRNA has the anticodon GCU. Which amino acid is attached to it?
A) alanine
B) methionine
C) arginine
D) threonine
E) serine
The law of complementary base pairingdescribes the way the bases in an mRNAcodon pair up with the bases of a tRNAanticodon during translation.
