Holds the tRNA carrying the next amino acid to be added to the polypeptide chain. acid any substance that dissociates in water to increase the c...

BIO 1A03 McMaster University Test 2 Review Graded A+ Translation Cellular components are able to read the genetic message in mRNA and translate the message into specific primary amino acid sequence of a protein How does tRNA structure allow for SPECIFICTY in translation? 1. Plays critical role in ENABLING the translation of the information 2. Each type of tRNA molecule is not identical and can translate a specific codon into a specific amino acid What is the structure of tRNA? - single RNA str...

Degenerate - Answer A code in which a single element in one language is specified by more than one element in a second language. In other words, an amino acid may be specified by more than one codon. Aminoacyl tRNAs interact with mRNA - Answer Transfer RNAs base-pair with mRNA codons at a three-base sequence on the tRNA called the anticodon. The first base of the codon in mRNA (read in the 5′→3′ direction) pairs with the third base of the anticodon. Alignment of the two RNAs is antip...

Pyrimidine - One carbon ring Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil Purine - Two carbon rings Adenine, Guanine How are nucleotides joined together? - Condensation to form phosphodiester bond What is the function of mRNA? - Carries genetic info out of nucleus Transcript translated to protein What is the function of tRNA? - Carries aa to ribosome Anticodon pairs with codon on mRNA strand What is the function of rRNA? - part of ribosome structure most abundant RNA coordinated coupling of tRNA to mRNA...

Translation: What type of bond holds amino acids together? (NOTE that this is the bond formed during translation) peptide bonds Translation: In a tRNA molecule, where would you find the anticodon loop? 3' end of tRNA and cognate amino acid brought together by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase enzymes (runs 5' to 3') Translation: What is the anticodon complementary to (what does it recognize)? a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence Translation: What sp

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Correct Answer-A polymer of nucleotides conected via a phosphate-deoxyribose sugar backbone; the genetic material of cells and some viruses. Phosphodiester Bond Correct Answer-A type of covalent bond linking nucleotides together in a polynucleotide. Messenger RNA (mRNA) Correct Answer-An RNA molecule that contains the genetic information to encode one or more polypeptides. Transfer RNA (tRNA) Correct Answer-A small RNA molecule used in translation that posses...
