If a tRNA_ala alters its anticodon from 3'-AUC-5' to the sequence to 3'-AUU-5',which of the following mutations can be suppressed? A) Missense B) Missense only if alanine does not adversely affect protein structure C) Silent D) Nonsense (only the 5'-UAA-3' codon) E) None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The altered tRNA_ala with anticodon 3'-AUU-5' can recognize the stop codon 5'-UAA-3', allowing alanine to be inserted instead of terminating translation, thus suppressing the nonsense mutation.
