Chapter 15 Flashcards
1
Q
One Gene, One Enzyme Hypothesis
A
Genes function by encoding enzymes, and each gene encores a separate enzyme
2
Q
What are proteins
A
Polymers consisting of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
3
Q
Degenerate Code
A
Amino acid may be made by more than one codon
4
Q
Synonymous codons
A
Codons that specify the same amino acid
5
Q
Isoaccepting tRNA
A
different tRNAs that accept eh same amino acid but have different anticodons
6
Q
Wobble Hypothesis
A
Third position of codon does not matter as much as first and second for pairing with the anticodon
7
Q
What is the reading frame?
A
The way in which the sequence can be read
8
Q
The code is _____lapping
A
Non-overlapping
9
Q
what is aminoacytl-tRNA?
A
tRNA that is bound to the appropriate amino acid
