The figure below shows a ribosome in the process of translating an mRNA with the sequence: 5’…AUGCCGUAUGCUCUUUAA…3’ a. The right side shows the ribosome with an empty A site aligned with the codon 5’UAU 3’. The next tRNA to occupy the A site on the ribosome will have what anti-codon sequence ( label 5’ and 3’)? Keep in mind the wobble pairing rules and make sure your answer is consistent with the genetic code. Explain your answer. b. Suppose, just as the ribosome started translating the mRNA, the cell suddenly lost all of its alanine tRNAs. Using the figure above as a guide, draw and label the state the ribosome would arrest in.
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
