Question

If the anticodon of an alanyl-tRNA is IGC (inosine-guanine-cytosine), to which of the following codons would it bind? The codon AUG specifies either initiation of protein synthesis or an internal methionine. What would be the sequence of the anticodon of a tRNA that binds to this codon?g

Answer 1

Explanation:

Possible anticodon sequences include:  GCA, GCC, or GCU.

Nucleic acids are comprised of smaller units called nucleotides and function as storage for the body’s genetic information. These monomers include ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They differ from other biological macromolecules since they don’t provide the body with energy. They exist solely to encode and protein synthesis.

• Basic makeup: C, H, O, P; they contain phosphate group 5 carbon sugar does nitrogen bases which may contain single to double bond ring.

DNA encodes an organism's genetic information; this undergoes transcription, where RNA is formed. Codons are three nucleotide bases encoding coding and amino acid or signal at the beginning or end of protein synthesis.

RNA codons determine specific amino acid, so the order in which the bases occur within in the codon sequence designates which amino acid is to be made in translation; the four RNA nucleotides (Adenine, Cysteine and Uracil). Up to 64 codons (with 3 as stop codons) determine amino acid synthesis. The stop codons ( UAG UGA UAA) terminate amino acid/ protein synthesis while the start codon AUG Begins protein synthesis.In wobble pairing, the same tRNA can recognise different codons of its amino acid. Thus for the third positions on codons, alanyl-tRNA (inosine-guanine-cytosine) can recognise   GCA, GCC, or GCU.
