- Briefly describe the function of the following in protein synthesis. a. rRNA b. tRNA c. mRNAarrow_forwardA certain mRNA strand has the following nucleotide sequence: 5AUGACGUAUAACUUU3 What is the anticodon for each codon? What is the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide? (Use Figure 13-5 to help answer this question.) Figure 13-5 The genetic code The genetic code specifies all possible combinations of the three bases that compose codons in mRNA. Of the 64 possible codons, 61 specify amino acids (see Figure 3-17 for an explanation of abbreviations). The codon AUG specifies the amino acid methionine and also signals the ribosome to initiate translation (start). Three codonsUAA, UGA, and UAGdo not specify amino acids; they terminate polypeptide synthesis (stop).arrow_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_forward
- At 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_forwardDefine the following terms: genetic code, codon, and anticodon.
