DNA and Protein Synthesis Hard

Question 1

What is the role of hydrogen bonds in tRNA

Answer 1

the tRNA molecules each carrying a specific amino acid line up along side the mRNA on the surface of the ribosome.
The anticodons of the tRNA line up with the codons of the mRNA held in place by hydrogen bonds between the corresponding bases

Question 2

What is the role of the anti codon in the tRNA

Answer 2

Their function is to base pair with the codon on a strand of mRNA during translation. This action ensures that the correct amino acid will be added to the growing polypeptide chain

Question 3

what is sickle cell disease

Answer 3

a genetic disease that affects the protein chains making up the haemoglobin in the red blood cells

Question 4

What is the role of anticodons

Answer 4

The 3 bases on the tRNA that matches the codon on the mRNA to result in the correct polypeptide chains
