How might you alter a trna so that it inserts an alanine into a polypeptide for which a lysine is coded?

TRNA stands for transfer-RNA which is used in the process of protein synthesis or translation. tRNA is a unique clover leaf like structure that has 4 arms- amino acid acceptor site (acceptor arm), D loop, T psi C loop and anticodon loop. It also has a small variable loop. The anticodon loop consists of a sequence of 3 bases that is complementary to the 3 bases present of mRNA to be translated. A tRNA for alanine will have an anticodon for alanine while a tRNA for lysine will have an anticodon for lysine. For a tRNA to insert an alanine in place of lysine in a forming peptide, the anticodon and the amino acid acceptor site should be altered so that it accepts lysine in place of alanine and add it to the growing polypeptide.

Polar ice cap

Explanation:

The polar ice cap is an area on the earth that extends from 66.5° north and south of the equator to the poles.

The polar ice cap is an area of very low temperature and the surface is mostly covered by ice.

The vast polar ice caps the earth's northern and southern limits.
This is the region of the Arctic and Antarctic circle.
This region receives diffused solar radiation from the sun.
This is why they rarely warm up.
The region of the equator has no ice because they receive direct sunlight.
The soil here is frozen.

In which process is lactic acid formed when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to take place?

Olenka [21]

Anaerobic respiration.
<span>Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration BUT does not use oxygen (O2). It is used when there is not enough O2 for aerobic respiration.
</span><span>It can be summarised by the equation: glucose → lactic acid (+ energy released). However, it releases less energy than aerobic repspiration due to a lack of oxygen resulting in an INCOMPLETE breakdown of glucose.
