A part of an mRNA molecule with the following sequence is being read by a ribosome: 5'-UGC-GCA-3' (mRNA). The charged transfer R

NA molecules shown in the figure below (with their anticodons shown in the 3' to 5' direction) are available. Two of them can correctly match the mRNA so that a dipeptide can form:

mRNA codons determine which amino acid will be added to the growing polypeptidic chain. tRNA anticodons pair these codons and add the correct amino acid. <em>The </em><em>dipeptide</em><em> formed will be </em><em>Cysteine-Alanine</em><em>.</em>

------------------------------------------

Let us review a few points,

  • In protein synthesis, the ribosome reads mRNA in the 5´ to 3´ direction.

  • According to the codons being readen, tRNA transfers the correct amino acids to build the polypeptide chain.

  • A codon is a short sequence of three nucleotides that store the genetic information for the aminoacids´ assembly.

  • Each codon represents one amino acid used to build the protein.

  • Each tRNA has two important sites. One of them that couples with the codon of the mRNA molecule, named anticodon. The other site couples with an amino acid.

  • The anticodon is a short sequence of bases that pairs with mRNA codons.

  • tRNA adds amino acids following the codons sequence in the mRNA molecule.

  • The protein grows from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus.

  • Adenine forms pairs with Uracyl ⇒ A↔U
  • Guanine pairs with Cytosine ⇒ C↔G

In the exposed example,

→ mRNA     ⇒  codons   ⇒ 5'-UGC - GCA-3'

→ tRNA       ⇒ anticodons ⇒  ACG  CGU

→ proteins  ⇒ amino acids ⇒  Cys     Ala ⇒ Codon UGC codes for Cysteine

                                                                     ⇒Codon GCA codes for Alanine

So, for the given sequence of mRNA, tRNA anticodons are ACG and CGU. And the added amino acids are <em>Cysteine and Alanine</em>.

Sindrei [870]
The statements that are true of heterogeneous mixtures are: they settle out and the proportions of solute to solvent may vary. The correct answer is option A. 1 and 2. Heterogeneous mixtures are considered mixtures wherein the components are not uniform and still retain their properties. Characteristics of heterogeneous mixtures are: the ratio of solute and solvent is not equal, the substances can be separated physically and they still retain their properties even if mixed with another substance.

What is the difference between Active and Passive Transport?
tester [92]

Answer:

Active transport moves molecules and ions from lower concentration to higher concentration, passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to lower concentration without any energy.

Explanation:

Active transport moves molecules and ions from lower concentration to higher concentration with the help of energy in the form of ATP. On the other hand, passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to lower concentration without any energy.
