Summary Introduction

To determine: The inference from the given experiment.

Introduction: In 1962, F. Chapeville and others reported an experiment in which they isolated radioactive C14-cysteinyl-tRNACys. They further removed the sulfur group from the cysteine and created alanyl-tRNACys. When alanyl-tRNACys was added to a synthetic mRNA, a polypeptide chain was synthesized containing alanine.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

As per the given information, a polypeptide chain was synthesized containing alanine. This occurred after adding radioactively labeled alanyl-tRNACys to a synthetic mRNA. From the given experiment, one can conclude that the amino acid is not involved in recognition of the codon.

Conclusion

Thus, from the given experiment, one can conclude that the amino acid is not involved in recognition of the codon.
