the genetic code

Question 1

64 codons on mRNA encode the

Answer 1

20 amino acids

Question 2

the genetic code is degenerate

Answer 2

meaning that there are more mRNA codons than acids so several codons translate into the same amino acid

Question 3

tRNA carries the complimentary

Answer 3

anticodon into the ribosome so the amino acid can be added to the polypeptide chain

Question 4

exception with tRNA

Answer 4

with anticodons complementary to stop mRNA codons do not carry an amino acid
