  1. During Codon recognition

(a) the ribosome moves towards the 3’ end of the mRNA   (b) a tautomeric shift occurs                      (c) a peptide bond forms   (d) anticodon and codon pairing occurs   (e) all of the above

Expert Solution
Step 1

A codon is the three-nucleotide stretch of sequence which codes for proteins. In central dogma, it begins from the DNA produce mRNA, and from the mRNA it produces proteins. As mRNA is a single-stranded structure and bases are present on mRNA. The three bases together are termed as codons. Because these codons mean the three-nucleotide stretch is specific for coding a particular amino acid.

Step 2

The translation is the process of converting genetic information of mRNA into proteins. A codon is a basic unit of genetic information. A codon is three nucleotide bases that code for the specific amino acid. Codon recognition processes to match codons with correct amino acids.
