2. Molecule that brings amino acids to the ribosome-mRNA complex? a.) mRNA b.) rRNA c.) tRNA d.) DNA


e.) amioacyl RNA sythetase





3. RNA polymerase will attach to the operator region of the lac operon as along as ? a) glucose is present b) lactose is present c) the operator is bound by an activator protein d) the coding region is bound by an activator protein e) the promoter region is bound by a regulatory protein





4. Endonucleases in the cytoplasm will destroy any RNA that does not have ? a) a 3 poly-A tail and a 5 cap b) a start codon c) a spliceosome d) introns e) exons





5. The DNA codon TAC corresponds to which of the following amino acids? a) tyr b) met c) his d) ser e) asp.





Thats 5 out of 10 quest. I wont post all because it's not fair for someone else to do my work.I just need a little help.Thanks a million

Multiple Questions for Protein Synthesis Biology. I'm having a really tough time.?
OK, #1 has no answer because translation is the process of making protein from the mRNA strand, by which point the mRNA is fully processed. An intron is a section of DNA which is translated into mRNA but then removed during mRNA processing, so perhaps this is the answer you're looking for; it's the best one if you meant "transcription" instead of "translation"





#2 is tRNA; it stands for "transfer RNA" and is a covalent complex of a small piece of a particular sequence of RNA and an amino acid; the reaction is catalyzed by aminoacyl tRNA synthetase.





#3 is "b"; when lactose is present, the lac repressor fall off of the operator region so that polymerase can bind.





I'm not sure about #4, because endonucleases attack RNA from the middle rather than at either end, and there are a number of them. If you mean exonucleases, then "a" is the best answer.





for #5, TAC (which is 5' to 3') gets translated to GUA (since the RNA strand is antiparallel) and GUA codes for valine.
