Francis Crick proposed "adapter" molecules to serve as an intermediary between mRNA and the synthesis of protein.Key to any model of how RNA is "read" in the process of protein synthesis would be a consideration of how:
A)amino acids are selected for addition to the new protein.
B)the RNA code was read by the translation enzyme.
C)peptide bonds are formed.
D)one codon could select a specific amino acid.
E)All of the answer options are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Francis Crick's proposal of "adapter" molecules, which later became known as tRNA, is fundamental to understanding protein synthesis. These molecules are crucial for selecting amino acids (A), interpreting the RNA code (B), forming peptide bonds (C), and ensuring that each codon selects a specific amino acid (D). Therefore, all the options are considerations integral to the model of how RNA is read during protein synthesis.
