Ribosomes and Protein Synthesis

1. If the change in template DNA occurred one base pair over so that instead of {CTC → CAC} the change was {CTC → CTT}, what would the effect be on the amino acid

2. sequence?

• It would have no effect.

• It would change from glutamic acid to leucine.

• It would change from glutamic acid to valine.

• It would change from glutamic acid to alanine.

  
  

Answer explanation

The change from CTC to CTT would result in the same amino acid (leucine), so it would have no effect on the amino acid sequence

A sequence of amino acids called a (a)   is produced during the process of ​ (b)   . During this process, the ​ (c)   of a tRNA molecule binds to a codon of mRNA.

• polypeptide

• translation

• anticodon

• codon

• Nucleic acid

• transcription

Answer explanation

The correct answers are polypeptide, translation, and anticodon. These terms are all related to the process of protein synthesis, where a sequence of amino acids is produced during translation, and the anticodon of a tRNA molecule binds to a codon of mRNA.
