Question
i. the aug codon always initiates translation and codes for the amino acid methionine. ii. trna binds to the start codon of mrna. the trna has a binding site of 3 bases called an anticodon that is to the mrna codon. therefore, the codon of mrna of aug is
ead\ by a trna that has a uac anticodon. the trna that has this anticodon carries, at its tail, the amino
The text is about the process of translation in molecular biology. It explains that the AUG codon initiates translation and codes for methionine. tRNA binds to the start codon (AUG) of mRNA. The tRNA has an anticodon (a sequence of 3 bases) that is complementary to the mRNA codon. For the AUG codon on mRNA, the complementary anticodon on tRNA is UAC. The tRNA with the UAC anticodon carries methionine at its tail.
