Translate the following RNA sequence:
AUG AAU UGU UGA

• Met-Phe-Cys-Stop
• Met-Asn-Cys-Stop
• Met-Asn-Cys-Trp
• Tyr-Leu-Thr-Thr

 A frameshift mutation could result from 

• a base insertion only.
• a base deletion only. 
• a base substitution only. 
• either an insertion or a deletion of a base.

The anticodon of a particular tRNA molecule is 

• complementary to the corresponding mRNA codon.
• complementary to the corresponding triplet in rRNA.
• the part of tRNA that bonds with a specific amino acid.
• catalytic, making the tRNA a ribozyme.

In eukaryotic cells, transcription cannot begin until 

• the two DNA strands have completely separated and exposed the promoter.
• several transcription factors have bound to the promoter.
• the 5' caps are removed from the mRNA.
• the DNA introns are removed from the template.
