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.

Describe the function of each organelle.
Elis [28]

Answer:

Cytoplasm: Fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus. helps protect organelles

Nucleus: A part of the cell containing hereditary information and is responsible for growth and reproduction; the "command center" of the cell.

Ribosome: A small particle in the cell that can make proteins.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.

Golgi Apparatus: A cell structure that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell or for storage inside the cell.

Lysosome: Cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell, such as large food particles or old parts of the cell. May be found only in animal cells.

Vacuole: Saclike storage structure in the cell. can store water, nutrients, and even toxic substances.

Mitochondrion: An organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy. (Metabolism/respiration)

Chloroplast: An organelle found in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (photosynthesis).

Cell membrane: The thin, flexible barrier around a cell; controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Cell wall: The structure outside of the cell membrane that is used to provide support and protection. Present in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes.

4/5 + 2/3 equals what
BigorU [14]

Hey there!

We need to find a common denominator.

5*3= 15

4/5= 12/15

2/3= 10/15

12+10=22

22/15

or

1 7/15

I hope this helps!
