Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between the processes of replication/transcription and translation?

  • Complementarity between nucleic acids is involved in replication/transcription, but not in translation. (correct)
  • Replication/transcription involves synthesis of amino acids, while translation involves synthesis of nucleic acids.
  • Replication/transcription do not involve genetic material, while translation does.
  • There is no difference between the two processes.

    • Why is it difficult to conceptualize the process of translation based on complementarity?

  • Amino acids are not involved in translation, making complementarity irrelevant.
  • Nucleotides and amino acids have opposite charges, making complementarity hard to visualize.
  • Translation involves a different type of nucleic acid that doesn't follow the rules of complementarity.
  • There is no theoretical basis for complementarity between nucleotides and amino acids. (correct)

    • What was responsible for changes in amino acids in proteins according to the provided text?

  • Changes in the temperature during protein synthesis
  • Changes in the cell's environment
  • Changes in the structure of amino acids
  • Changes in genetic material (nucleic acids) (correct)

    Study Notes

    Replication and Transcription

    • Nucleic acid is copied to form another nucleic acid during replication and transcription
    • These processes are easy to understand based on complementarity

    Translation

    • Genetic information is transferred from a nucleotide polymer to synthesise an amino acid polymer
    • There is no complementarity between nucleotides and amino acids, nor can any be theoretically drawn
    • Changes in nucleic acids (genetic material) are responsible for changes in amino acids in proteins
    • There is evidence supporting the notion that changes in genetic material affect proteins

    Genetic Code

    • A genetic code is proposed to direct the sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis
