which of the following statement describes how the RNA sequence specifies the production of an amino acid chain



Sagot :

It specifies the production of a polymer because of the codon coding, if you get the amino acid of Methionine, made from the mRNA codon, Adenine-Uracil-Guanine. It will then code for the every codon after that until it reaches a stop codon. (Uracil-Adenine-Adenine, Uracil- Adenine-Guanine, Uracil-Guanine-Adenine)

I guess you mean the question below:

An RNA sequence is: AUGCCGAAACGU.

Which of the following statements describes how  the RNA sequence specifies the production of an  amino acid chain?

A. Each individual RNA base codes for a single  amino acid.

B. Each group of three RNA bases codes for a  single amino acid.

C. Each group of three RNA bases codes for an  enzyme that helps join amino acids together.

D. Each individual RNA base codes for the  ribosome location where amino acids are  assembled.

The correct answer would be that each group of three RNA bases codes for a  single amino acid.

  • The process of forming amino acid chains from RNA sequences is called translation.
  • The RNA sequence is broken down into smaller sequences of 3 bases each, otherwise known as codons.
  • Each codon is then used to specify an amino acid during protein synthesis.
  • Codons are degenerates. That is, an amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.
  • Individual amino acids are joined by peptide bonds to form proteins during the process of protein synthesis

Hence, the correct option would be B. That is, each group of three RNA bases codes for a  single amino acid.
