Chapter 11, Problem 11.131EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The codons that are associated with the given base sequence have to be stated.

Concept introduction: A three nucleotide sequence in $\text{mRNA}$ molecule that codes for a specific amino acid is known as codon.  The complementary three-nucleotide sequence of a codon is known as an anticodon.  The codon is present on a $\text{mRNA}$ molecule while an anticodon is present on a $\text{tRNA}$ molecule.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The $\text{tRNA}$ anticodons that are compatible with the given base sequence have to be stated.

Concept introduction: A three nucleotide sequence in $\text{mRNA}$ molecule that codes for a specific amino acid is known as codon.  The complementary three-nucleotide sequence of a codon is known as an anticodon.  The codon is present on a $\text{mRNA}$ molecule while an anticodon is present on a $\text{tRNA}$ molecule.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The amino acids that are specified with the given base sequence have to be stated.

Concept introduction: A three nucleotide sequence in $\text{mRNA}$ molecule that codes for a specific amino acid is known as codon.  The complementary three-nucleotide sequence of a codon is known as an anticodon.  The codon is present on a $\text{mRNA}$ molecule while an anticodon is present on a $\text{tRNA}$ molecule.

The amino acids present in the protein are linked via peptide linkages.  The peptide linkages between the amino acids are the part of the backbone of the protein structure.
