Question 16

Essay

Which, if any, of the following statements are false?
a) During translation, the individual codons of an mRNA are "read" by transient hydrogen bonding to a complementary anticodon sequence on a transfer RNA.
b) According to their anticodon, transfer RNAs usually have a specific amino acid attached to their 3' end.
c) When the anticodon of a tRNA binds to a codon with a suitably complementary sequence, the amino acid is released and becomes part of a polypeptide.
d) Translation terminates at an in-frame termination codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA in the universal genetic code) because for these codons, there are no transfer RNAs with a complementary anticodon sequence.
