Study the mRNA segment given above which is complete to be translated into a polypeptide chain.
(i) Write the codons'a' and 'b'
(ii) What so they code for ?
(iii) How is peptide bond formed between two amino acids in the ribosome ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) a = AUG
b = `UAA//UAG//UGA`
(ii) AUG = Met = methionine
UAA = does not code for any amino acid, i.e., stop terminating codon.
(iii) In a polypeptide chain, the adjunct amino acids are linked to each other by a peptide bond
