Question

Imagine the CCA added to the 3' end of the tRNA consisted of DNA nucleotides. It (WOULD/WOULD NOT) be possible to connect an amino acid to this tRNA. Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - it would because both DNA and RNA have 3' OH.

Explanation:

Ammino acid will connect to the tRNA due to the fact that the process of aminoacylation of tRNA when DNA nucleotide is used will perform or act same the mechanism of Class II aminoacyl tRNA synthetase as both DNA and tRNA have 3'OH. This will get the help of  3'OH in the CCA to bond with charged amino acid.

Thus, the correct answer would be - it would because both DNA and RNA have 3' OH.
