Chapter 14 And 15-Translation And Genetic Code Flashcards
1
Q
In translation, what codon sets the reading frame?
A
The start codon sets the reading frame
2
Q
What is the final codon called in translation?
A
The final codon is called the stop codon
3
Q
What are all the possibilities of start codons in bacteria?
A
In the five prime to three prime direction is as follows: AUG, GUG, UUG.
4
Q
?-Three possible reading frames for the same mRNA, how is this possible this is on slide 30 of 115??
A
?
I believe there are three possible ways that are three possible reading frames on the same mRNA because bacteria do not have to start at that specific start codon. the ribosome binding site or Shine-Dalgarno sequence is present on the mRNA 3 to 9 bases upstream of the start codon.
