Imagine that you repeat the tRNA Selection experiment with modifications as follows: 1. Synthesize mRNA containing A's and G's only (poly-AG in random order). 2. Convert the amino acid Glutamic acid (Glu) on its tRNA to the amino acid Glutamine (Gln) as shown below. 3. Mix your poly-AG RNA, your artificial TRNA, and cell extract (contains ribosomes, amino acids, all normal tRNAS, and the energy source for translation). Glu Gln CỤC CUC Glutamic acid (Glu) is encoded by GAA and GAG, while Glutamine (GIn) is encoded only by CAA and CAG. Given this, and based on what you know about tRNA selection, will Glutamine (Gln) be found in the resulting polypeptides? (Assume translation will happen even without a start codon.) O Yes, because the amino acid is selected based on the TRNA anticodon sequence. O No, because the ribosome selects the TRNA based on the attached amino acid. Yes, because all of the normal RNAS, including tRNA Gln are present in the assay. O None of the above
