Assertion. The genetic code is degenerate. Reason. Most amino acids are coded by more than one codon.

Consider the following statements : Assertion (A) : Amber codon is a termination codon . Reason (R ) : If in a m-RNA, a termination codon is present, the protein synthesis stops abruptly whether the protein synthesis is complete or not. Now select you answer from code given below :

One of the codons on mRNA is AUG. Draw the structure of tRNA adaptor molecule for this codon. Explain the uniqueness of this tRNA

If the base sequence of a codon in mRNA is 5 AUG-3', the sequence of tRNA pairing with it must be:

A change in a sequence of DNA occurs so that the mRNA codon reads AUC rather than AUU. Both of these codes for the amino acid is leucine. Argue that this is not a mutation.

Three codons on mRNA are not recognized by transfer RNA. What are they? What is the general term used for them? What is their significance in protein synthesis?

While an mRNA strand is being translated in the ribosome subunit, the triplets in sequence were UAC and UAG. One of them codes for tyrosine, What is the significance of the other? Pick out the codon and specify.

Two ideal gas thermometers A and B use oxygen and hydrogen respectively. The following observations are made: {:("Temperature","Pressure","Pressure"),(,"thermometer A","thermometer B"),("Triple - point water",1.250 xx10^(5) Pa,0.200 xx 10^(5) Pa),("Normal melting point of sulphur",1.797 xx10^(5)Pa,0.287 xx10^(5)Pa):} (a) What is the absolute temperature of normal melting point of sulphur as read by thermometers A and B ? (b) What do you think is the reason behind the slight difference in answers of thermometers A and B ? (The thermometers are not faulty). What further procedure is needed in the experiment to reduce the discrepancy between the two readings ?
