Summary Introduction

Introduction: The genetic information of DNA is based on the nucleotide base sequences. These sequences are transcribed into mRNA triplets and are called codons. After transcription, mRNA sequences are read by tRNA in the ribosome to synthesize polypeptide, and the process is known as translation. tRNA molecules have an anticodon that pairs with its complementary codon during translation. As a result, the codon-specific amino acid comes through the other end of the tRNA. These amino acids form a polypeptide chain.

Choose the answer that has these events of protein synthesis in the proper sequence. 1. A TRNA binds to the A site. 2. A peptide bond forms between the new amino acid and the growing polypeptide chain. 3. TRNA vacates E site as the next tRNA binds to the A site. 4. Both ribosomal subunits have bound, and the first TRNA is in the P site. 5. TRNA translocates to the P site, as upstream tRNA translocates to E site.

Determine whether this statement is true or false: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase covalently links the amino acid to the 5’ end of the correct tRNA molecule.
Which of the following is NOT a general feature of tRNA? A. All TRNAS contain 4 loops, the anticodon loop, the hydroxy-uridine and methylcytosine loops and a variable loop B. The tertiary structure of tRNAs is L-shaped C. All ERNAS contain anti-codons D. All TRNAS contain amino acids attached to the 3'-OH end E. All ERNAS contain the rare nucleotides, hydroxyuridine and methyl cytosine
