- Examine Table 15-2. The codon AUG codes for the amino acid methionine and also for “start.” What does “start” mean?arrow_forwardwrite a correct terminology/word on column B that meet the description of column A COLUMN A COLUMN B 1. The site for protein synthesis where mRNA and tRNA meets. 2. Benign tumours or warts that might cause problems but do not spread to oyher parts of the body. 3. A nucleotide sequence that is complimentary to the mRNA codon. 4. A condition that depicts injury or diseased state of liver. 5. Term used to describe a process or condition which affects the general body function. 6. A type of virus that attacks the respiratory system to cause flue 7. The fluid found within the cell 8. A condition which describes harm, damage or impairment of kidney function. 9. To spilt a molecule or chemical bond. 10. The protein coat or shell of a virusarrow_forwardBelow is the sequence of an mRNA that has just been transcribed. Please translate this sequence as if you were a ribosome, and write out the translation results. A genetic code table has been provided. mRNA: 5'- A C G U C C A A U G G C A G U G A U U U G A A U C C A -3'arrow_forward
- "Kindly answer this and make an explanation. That will be my reviewer."arrow_forwardGiven the following DNA sequence: 3'-TACTTNGTNCTNTCN-5' where N stands for any nucleotide, give the complementary mRNA sequence. Indicate direction of strand as 3'--> 5' or 5'--> 3' as in the given sequence above. Give the amino acid sequence of your mRNA sequencelin No. 1. Indicate direction of strand as above. Use all lowercase letters, 3-letter name of amino acid separated by a hyphen (-), no spaces in-between.arrow_forwardWrite down the corresponding amino acids sequence for each mRNA sequence. Use the codon chart.arrow_forward
- Use the chart below to find the correct amino acids for the following mRNA strand: GCUAUGUUU ala-met-stop ala-met-stop ala-met-phe phe-ala-metarrow_forwardSequence 1 : TACGCTACGGTAATC Sequence 2: TACGCTACTATCGTAarrow_forwardAssume the following portion of an mRNA. Find a start signal, and write the amino acid sequence that is coded for. 5'-GCCAUGUUUCCGAGUUAUCCCAAAGAUAAAAAAGAG 3'arrow_forward
- Decode the unknown word using the genetic code and fill out the missing nucleotides. Translate the generated mRNA sequence using the universal genetic code table and the information derived from the previous steps. Determine the unknown word by arranging the single letter amino acid code of the hypothetical protein produced bound by the start and stop codon.arrow_forwardDuring translation, the formation of peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids requires peptidyl transferase enzyme activity, which is carried out by ______________________. Release Factor 23S rRNA of the large ribosomal subunit 16S rRNA of the small ribosomal subunit tRNA A protein enzyme called peptidyl transferasearrow_forwardYou may wish to consult the genetic code above to answer the following question. A mutation has changed a portion of a protein coding gene that encodes a messenger RNA sequence. The original messenger RNA sequence is 5-AUGCCCAGAGCU-3' Which mutation is a nonsynonymous (missense) mutation that changes a single amino acid in the encoded protein?
