The function of tRNA is to

• carry amino acids to the ribisomes

• carry ribisomes to the ER

• carry glucose to mitochondria

• carry mRNA out of the nucleus

What would happen if we did not have start codons?

• Polypeptide chains would continue to grow
• Amino acids would bind to tRNA
• Protein synthesis wouldn't occur
• mRNA would form a double strand

Which of the following occurs first in translation?

• The small ribosomal subunit binds to mRNA
• The large ribosomal subunit binds to mRNA
• tRNA binds to the mRNA
• A peptide bond forms between amino acids

What is the correct amino acid sequence for the mRNA code AUGCCAGUAUGA

• Met-Pro-Ala-Val
• Met-Pro-Val
• Tyr-Gly-His
• Tyr-Gly-Arg-His
