NGSS.HS-LS1-1

What organelle has to translate the mRNA in order to place the amino acids in the correct order?

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Vacuole

• Mitochondria

NGSS.HS-LS1-6

What amino acid is UAG

• Stop

• Proline

• Leucine

What amino acid is UCG?

• Ser

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

What amino acid is being substituted that is causing Sickle cell anemia?

• Valine

• Leucine

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Mutations can cause an early STOP codon that terminates translation early.

Which describes how these mutations could affect the production of proteins?

• The genes may not be able to produce functional proteins-or the proteins they need

• The genes might begin to produce more proteins than needed

• The proteins could have their amino acids substituted in the sequences
