- Consider the following portion of mRNA produced by the normal order of DNA nucleotides: 5’ – CUU AAA CCA GUU – 3’ a. What is the template DNA sequence that was used to synthesize this portion of mRNA? b. What is the amino acid order produced from this mRNA? c. Write the amino acid sequence if a mutation changes CUU to CAU. Is this likely to affect protein function?arrow_forwardThe addition of the poly-A tail adds more than 200 units of adenine to the strand of mRNA, yet no protein has a continuous line of more than 200 phenylalanines in its structure. Why is this so? A. RNA splicing occurs and removes the noncoding sequences. B. The poly-A tail and 5' GTP cap do not translate into proteins. C. The adenines are reabsorbed by the cell and help to form other forms of RNA. D. The tRNA does not recognize the poly-A tail.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE in translation? A. Amino acyl TRNA containing one amino acid is attached to the P site B.

Empty TRNAS are immediately released from the ribosomes D. The E site is always empty after translocation to receive incoming empty TRNAS. E. The anticodon binding to the codon is stringent, i.e. there must be complete complementary base-pairing between the bases in the codon and anticodon before translation can proceed.arrow_forward
