Chapter 28, Problem 28.42P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two codons for Glutamic acid and four codons for Valine has to be listed.

Concept Introduction:

The mRNA strand consists of genetic information in the form of nucleotides.  The codons translate the genetic information present on the mRNA strand, with the help of triplet codons which codes for amino acids.  In mRNA the nucleotides present are Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Uracil (U).

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Glutamic acid codons can be converted into Valine codons by a single substitution mutation has to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

The codons are the triplet bases which codes for the amino acids in the protein synthesis.  There are 64 codons which are coded for 20 amino acids.  Each amino acid is coded by more than one codon.

Which carbocation is more stable?
Are the products of the given reaction correct?  Why or why not?
The question below asks why the products shown are NOT the correct products.  I asked this already, and the person explained why those are the correct products, as opposed to what we would think should be the correct products.  That's the opposite of what the question was asking.  Why are they not the correct products? A reaction mechanism for how we arrive at the correct products is requested ("using key intermediates").  In other words, why is HCl added to the terminal alkene rather than the internal alkene?
