QUESTION 1. A DNA codon reads ACC. Give the corresponding mRNA codon, tRNA anticodon, and amino acid.
QUESTION 2. If a tRNA anticodon reads CAI, to which mRNA codon(s) will it bind? What amino acid will the tRNA carry?
QUESTION 3. Part of a DNA gene sequence reads CAT. If a mutation occurs that changes the T to A, will the final protein be affected?
QUESTION 4. If a poly(C) is used as an mRNA and translated, a poly-glycine polypeptide is formed. If on the other hand a poly(G) mRNA is used, a poly-proline polypeptide is made. However, if both poly(C) and poly(G) are used in the same reaction, no polypeptide is made. Explain why.
