- The codon UAA stops protein synthesis. Why does the sequence UAA in the following stretch of mRNA not cause any problems?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the genetic code are true and which are false? Correct each false statement. a.Each codon is composed of four bases. b.Some amino acids are represented by more than one carbon. c.All codons represent an amino acid. d.Each living species is thought to have its own unique genetic code. e.The codon AUG at the beginning of a sequence is a signal for protein synthesis to begin at that codon. f.It is not known if the code contains stop signals for protein synthesis.arrow_forwardPredict the sequence of amino acids coded by the mRNA sequence 5AUGAAAGAAGACCUA3arrow_forward
- If a codon consists of four nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be workable as an amino-acid code?arrow_forwardIf a codon consists of two nucleotides, how many codons would be possible? Would this be a workable code for the purpose of protein synthesis?arrow_forwardWrite the base sequence for the mRNA that would be formed during transcription from the DNA strand with the base sequence GCCATATTG.arrow_forward
- Match the codon with the anticodon:arrow_forwardWhat would be the C-terminal amino acid if the codon at the 3′-end of the mRNA in 5′-AAA-GUU-GGC-UAC-CCC-GGA-AUG-GUG-GUC-3′ undergoes the following mutations? a. The first base is changed to A. b. The second base is changed to A. c. The third base is changed to A. d. The third base is changed to G.arrow_forwardDraw a schematic of the Ribosome beginning to synthesise a protein.
