- Which of the following is an example of the degeneracy of the genetic code?Group of answer choices a) each codon specifies more than one amino acid b) the genetic code is not degenerate c) an amino acid can have more than one codon d) None of the abovearrow_forwardDescribe the process of translating mRNA into proteins. Be sure to also include the following key terms: tRNA, ribosomes, codon, base pairs, cytoplasm, amino acids.arrow_forwardAt least three types of RNA are required for protein synthesis. Compare and contrast mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA by moving the descriptions of their structure and function to the appropriate categories. Some phrases may describe all three types of RNA. mRNA in eukaryotes, can exist outside the nucleus acts as an enzyme for peptide synthesis composed of ribonucleic acid rRNA Answer Bank moves amino acids to the site of protein synthesis tRNA contains nucleotide triplets that code for specific amino acids has a convoluted structure with a three-base sequence called an anticodon moves genetic information out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm mRNA, rRNA, and tRNAarrow_forward
- mRNA and tRNA are involved in producing proteins from genes in the DNA. One codon consisting of 3 nucleotides corresponds to an amino acid in the protein that gets built. It is important to understand the relationship between the following nucleic acids: DNA template and mRNA strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA template and tRNA anticodon strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA non-template and mRNA strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA non-template and tRNA anticodon strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) DNA template and DNA non-template strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary) mRNA and tRNA anticodon strands are ANSWER (the same or complementary)arrow_forwardFor translation of eukaryotic mRNA sequences: a) The stop codon stops translation by blocking the ribosome. b) The tRNA is the same thing as the amino acid. c) There are two binding pockets within the ribosome where different tRNAs will bind to the mRNA. d) The first codon that is recognized by the ribosome is UAG e) The ribosome can bind to the mRNA in any location.arrow_forwardA segment of mRNA produced by the normal order of DNA nucleotides and the corresponding amino acid chain are given below: mRNA segment: GCC UAC AAU GCG Amino acid chain: Ala-Tyr-Asn-Ala Knowing that insertion mutations shift the triplets by one base, if an insertion mutation adds a U to the beginning of that mRNA segment, what will be the new triplet/codon grouping and the new amino acid chain?

It will stop the translation once it encounters a stop codon D) The gene for a protein provides the information on the legth of the peptide, along w the amino acid sequence so the protein can be synthesized by a ribosome E) Once mRNA has left the nucleus, ribosomes will bind to it and will follow the instructions in its sequence to make the new protienarrow_forward
