Question
The amino acid glycine is encoded by four codons: GGA, GGC, GGG, and GGU.
Which of the following statements correctly explains this fact?
The glycine anticodon contains the sequence CC, but the 5' base of the anticodon can pair nonspecifically with the 3' base of the codon.
The glycine anticodon contains the sequence CC, but the 3' base of the anticodon can pair nonspecifically with the 5' base of the codon.
Glycine tRNA has four anticodons, and the appropriate anticodon specifically pairs with the correct codon.
There are four tRNAs for glycine, each of which has an anticodon that specifically pairs with the correct codon.

- Which of the following statements about a transition mutation in the sequence CGG is true? sequenceIt could result in a single base substitution to give the new codon CCG. It could result in a single base substitution to give the new sequence AGG. It could result in a single base substitution to give the new sequence TGG. A transition mutation in the sequence CGG would always be silent. It could result in a single base substitution to give the new sequence GGG.arrow_forwardWhat amino acid would a tRNA with anticodon CUA carry? Enter the 3 letter code only [A]. [e.g. Met for anticodon UAC]arrow_forwardThis sequence given is of one strand of eukaryotic DNA containing a hypothetical gene. The base that is first (at the 5' end) in the sequence is at position -25. The translational start site is the first initiating codon encountered after the transcriptional start. This gene has three exons. The last base of the first exon is the A at position +30; the first base of the second exon is the C at position +62; the last base of the second exon is the A at position +82; the first base of the third exon is the G at position +118; and the last base of the third exon is for you to determine. Determine, and show, the sequence of the polypeptide produced by this gene in this format: Met-Thr-Trp-Tyr-Val etc. 5'-TATATACGTC CTATCGATGC ATCGTGTACG TAGCTAGGGG ATGCATGAAG TCACAGTAGC TAGCTATGGC TGATCGATCG TTGTGGCTTA AATATTGCGC TGGACTAGGA AAAGCTCGCA GGTACCCGAT CGATCCCGTG GAGTTCCAAG TTAGGATCTA CTTTAGCTAG TTTTAGCGGA ATAAAGATCG ATTATAGCTG AGAGATAAGC GTGGGTTGAT GATCGTAGCT AGCTAGCTAG CTAGCATCGA-3'arrow_forward
