There are 61 mRNA codons that specify an amino acid, but only 45 tRNAs. This is best explained by the fact that
A. some tRNAs have anticodons that recognize two or more different codons.
B. the rules for base pairing between the third base of a codon and tRNA are flexible.
C. many codons are never used, so the tRNAs that recognize them are dispensable.
D. A and B only
E. A, B, and C
The codon and anticodon are base-paired together during the process of translation. Which of the following is correct regarding the relationship between anticodon and codon?
A. The tRNA anticodon UCU pairs with the AGA mRNA codon.
B. The tRNA anticodon is read from the 5’ to the 3’ end.
C. A tRNA anticodon can pair with only one mRNA codon.
D. The mRNA codon ACG base pairs with the tRNA anticodon TGC.
A ribozyme is
a. a complex between RNA and a protein.
b. an RNA that encodes a protein that functions as an enzyme.
c. an RNA molecule with catalytic function.
d. a protein that degrades RNA molecules.
