The genetic information contained in DNA consists of a linear sequence of coding units known as codons. Each codon consists of three adjacent DNA nucleotides that corresponto a single amino acid in a protien. The E.coli DNA molecule contains 4.70 x 10^6 base pairs. Determine the number of codons that can be present. Assuming that the average protein in E.coli consists of a chain of 400 amino acids, calculate the maximum number of protiens that can be coded by an E.coli DNA molecule.
The sequence of a polypeptide is determined by the order of codons that specify the amino acids in the polypeptide. How many different sequences of codons can specify the polypeptide sequence methionine-histidine-lysine? (Use the table to find the number of possibilities.)

The amino acid glycine is encoded by four codons: GGA, GGC, GGG, and GGU. Which of the following statements correctly explains this fact? The glycine anticodon contains the sequence CC, but the 5' base of the anticodon can pair nonspecifically with the 3' base of the codon. The glycine anticodon contains the sequence CC, but the 3' base of the anticodon can pair nonspecifically with the 5' base of the codon. Glycine tRNA has four anticodons, and the appropriate anticodon specifically pairs with the correct codon. There are four tRNAs for glycine, each of which has an anticodon that specifically pairs with the correct codon. all of the above

Use the mRNA codon chart in the Appendix of your manual to help you. Answer: Check
In RNA, an atypical base pair is able to form between guanine and uracil. This base pair allows a single tRNA molecule to recognize more than one codon using its one anticodon sequence. It requires a shift in position of the two nucleotides. Guanine and uracil come together in this unusual pair via 2 hydrogen bonds. Based on what you know about hydrogen bond formation and base pairing, draw a guanine nucleotide and a uracil nucleotide hydrogen bound to one another.
