- Draw and label an rRNA (ribosome). Make sure to describe any special features/parts. Draw and label a tRNA molecule. Make sure to describe any special features/parts.arrow_forwardA protein had the amino acids leu-gly at codons 10 and 11. A deletion of the 5’ base of the leu codon (i.e. the first base) changed the protein so that it now reads ser-ala at codons 10 and 11. The original Leu codon must have been: (hint: make use of a codon table to answer this question) CUG AUG CUA CUC CUUarrow_forwardPlace the steps needed to create a protein in a human cell in order. Place the initial step at the top. = a chain of amino acids folds into a functional protein = MRNA is created from DNA in the nucleus = a segment of DNA, called a gene, is identified and prepared for transcription = the code in MRNA is joined with tRNA in ribosomes in order to link together amino acidsarrow_forward

The parentheses after the blank are the choices. ____________ (Introns, Anticodons, Codons) are three nucleotide units of information in mRNA that often specify a particular amino acid. They correspond to complementary sets of three nucleotides on tRNA called ___________ (introns, anticodons, codons).arrow_forwardWhat is proteomics?
