Understand the Problem
The question is a comprehensive set of queries related to molecular biology, focusing on protein synthesis, RNA regulation, and mutations. It involves understanding functions, processes, and definitions pertinent to genetics and protein biochemistry.
Answer
5' end, methionine, peptide bond, stop codon.
The starting point of a transcript is the 5' end. The first amino acid of a protein is methionine. The type of bond in a protein is a peptide bond. The ending point of a transcript is the stop codon.
Answer for screen readers
The starting point of a transcript is the 5' end. The first amino acid of a protein is methionine. The type of bond in a protein is a peptide bond. The ending point of a transcript is the stop codon.
More Information
The 5' end is where transcription begins, leading to RNA synthesis. Methionine is almost always the first amino acid in a protein due to the start codon AUG. Peptide bonds form the primary linkage in proteins. Stop codons signal the termination of protein synthesis.
Tips
Confusing the end of transcription with translation can occur. Remember, transcription begins with the 5' cap and ends at the stop codon.
