Which is most directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein?
A) the sequence of the anticodons
B) the number of codons in mRNA
C) the enzyme that attaches the amino acid to tRNA
D) the proteins associated with rRNA
E) the sequence of codons in mRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of codons in mRNA is directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein because each codon codes for a specific amino acid. The ribosome reads the sequence of codons and matches them with the appropriate amino acids to create the protein. The other choices are not directly involved in determining the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
