Questions and Answers

What is the function of the three codons that do not specify any amino acid?

  • To specify the start of a protein-coding sequence
  • To code for methionine
  • To recognize and bind to tRNAs
  • To specify the end of a protein-coding sequence (correct)

What is the typical pattern of codons that specify the same amino acid?

  • They vary at all three positions
  • They vary at the third position, and contain the same nucleotides at the first and second positions (correct)
  • They contain the same nucleotides at all three positions
  • They vary at the first and second positions, and contain the same nucleotides at the third position

What is the role of the anticodon in tRNA?

  • To act as a termination site
  • To specify the start of a protein-coding sequence
  • To recognize and bind to the amino acid
  • To pair with the complementary codon in an mRNA molecule (correct)
