Concept explainers
Refer to the figure to answer these questions:
a. Add labels for mRNA (including the 5' and 3' ends) and tRNA. In addition, draw in the RNA polymerase enzyme and the ribosomes, including arrows indicating the direction of movement for each.
b. What are the next three amino acids to be added to polypeptide b?
c. Fill in the
d. What is the sequence of the DNA complementary to the template strand (as much as can be determined from the figure)?
e. Does this figure show the entire polypeptide that this gene encodes? How can you tell?
f. What might happen to polypeptide b after its re lease from the ribosome?
g. Does this figure depict a prokaryotic or a eukaryotic cell? How can you tell?
