Which one of the following biomolecules is insoluble in water?
α-keratin
haemoglobin
ribonuclease
adenine
Which one of the following statements is true for protein synthesis (translation)?
Amino acids are directly recognized by m-RNA.
The third base of the codon is less specific.
Only one codon codes for an amino acid.
Every t-RNA molecule has more than oneamino acid attachment.
B.
The third base of the codon is less specific.
Genetic code shows degeneracy i.e. occurrence of more than 1 codon per amino acid. All the amino acid except methionine and tryptophan are coded by more than 1 codon. For example, valine is specified by GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG This shows that first two bases are common in all the four codons coding for valine. But the third base can be changed.
