Which trna anticodon(s) could decode the mrna codon cag (recall that codons are always written in the 5'—>3' direction and anticodons are written in the 3'—>5' direction)?

Respuesta :

GUU or GUC can decode the mrna codon cag (recall that codons are always written in the 5'—>3' direction and anticodons are written in the 3'—>5' direction).
Codon is located on the mRNA molecule and anti-codon is located on the tRNA molecule. Codon is actually a sequence of three nucleotides, which specifies one amino acid in the chain of polypeptide.

GUU or GUC tRNA anticodons(s) could decode the mRNA codon CAG (recall that codons are always written in the 5'—>3' direction and anticodons are written in the 3'—>5' direction).

Further Explanation

RNA is Ribonucleic Acid different from DNA by one ribose and RNA is single-stranded. Types of RNA are:

  • mRNA
  • tRNA
  • rRNA
  • snRNA
  • SiRNA  

Functions of RNA are:

  • Carries information from DNA to a ribosome.
  • Transmit genetic information.
  • Play a role in splicing.
  • Assemble protein.

In TRANSLATION processes, mRNA is converted to protein. To translate mRNA, it goes under much different processing before translating into protein, mainly in eukaryotes. Transfer ribonucleic acid is a kind of RNA that helps in decoding a messenger RNA sequence into a specific protein.

GUU or GUC can decode the mRNA codon CAG. A codon is mainly present on the mRNA molecule and anti-codon is present on the tRNA molecule. A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides, which specifies to each amino acid in the chain of the polypeptide.
