- All of the following are true about translation EXCEPT _____. as the ribosome moves from codon to codon, amino acids brought by successive tRNAs to the ribosome form a growing polypeptide when the ribosome reaches a stop codon, its subunits detach, and the mRNA and new polypeptide are released RNA polymerase assembles a strand of mRNA complementary to the coding strand of DNA Ribosomal subunits and a tRNA-carrying methionine converge on the start codon of an mRNAarrow_forwardThe exons and introns of a gene are shown below. Introns are shown as black bars. Exons are numbered white boxes. "nt" is abbreviation for nucleotides. For exon 1, the number of nucleotides labeled in the figure only include the sequence from the start codon to the 3' end of the exon. For exon 5, the number of nucleotides labeled in the figure only include the sequence from the 5' end of exon 5 to the stop codon. In each case, the number of nucleotides does include the start or the stop codon itself. Stop codon Start codon 120 nt 40 nt 50 nt 150 nt 180 nt Alternative splicing of this gene produces removes introns and joining different exons. Four different mRNA transcripts are formed by alternative splicing. All four transcripts utilize the same start codon (in Exon 1) and the same stop codon (in Exon 5) for translation. Based on this information, can you predict the exon combinations of the four transcripts and the length (I.e. number of amino acids) of each of the four proteins…arrow_forwardPolypeptides can be reversed back to RNA because of the enzyme transcriptase. The genetic material must be replicated with high fidelity and great speed. Eukaryotic mRNA is said to be polycistronic since they encode multiple polypeptide chains RNA-synthesis occurs inside the nucleus while protein synthesis in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic organisms. Write T if the statement is true and write F if the statement is falsearrow_forward
- What is a gene? What does "base sequence" mean? If the base sequence of a segment of a molecule of DNA is changed, will the base sequence of the mRNA made during transcription be changed? If the base sequence of the mRNA is changed will the sequence of amino acids obtained during translation change? If the primary structure of a protein is changed, will it's function change? If the function of the protein changes, will the organism have a different characteristic? Do introns get read during translation?arrow_forwardWhat are two advantages for circularizing the mRNA during the process of eukaryotic translation? (Select two correct answers) mRNA circularization ensures that translation terminates at the proper termination codons. mRNA circularization facilitates the binding of the ribosome to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. mRNA circularization ensures that a full-length mRNA is used in the process of translation. mRNA circularization eliminates the requirement for translation factors in the process of translation initiation. mRNA circularization allows for a more efficient re-initiation of the translation process during repeated cycles of translation.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is observed in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes? An mRNA can be translated by only one ribosome at a time in prokaryotes. The 5´ end of a prokaryotic mRNA can be translated while the 3´ end is still being transcribed In prokaryotes, ribosomes move along an mRNA in the 3´ to 5´ direction. UGG is an example of a stop codon only found in prokaryotes.arrow_forward

You will have more than one codon for all of them except methionine. Amino Acids All Possible Codons Methionine Lysine Serine (Look carefully. There are six possibilities) Glycine Question 3 illustrates the redundant nature of the genetic code.

An MRNA can be translated by only one ribosome at a time in eukaryotes. Translation does not require any protein factors in prokaryotes. TCC is an example of a stop codon only found in prokaryotic mRNA. An MRNA can be translated by only one ribosome at a time in prokaryotes. The 5' end of a prokaryotic MRNA can be translated while the 3' end is still being transcribed.arrow_forwardWhich of these molecules has multiple partial charges and thus is most soluble in water?
