Match each term to its definition. A three-base sequence on a transfer RNA molecule that corresponds to a specific codon on mRNA and thus matches each amino acid with a specific codon. During translation, this area of a ribosome binds a tRNA molecule to which the growing polypeptide is attached. During translation, this area of a ribosome binds the tRNA moecule carrying the next amino acid that will be added to the growing polypeptide chain This protein binds to the A-site of a ribosome when a stop codon is reached, and then hydrolyzes the bond between the tRNA in the P-site and the polypeptide attached to it. This term describes the movement of a ribosome from one codon to the next in the 5' to 3' direction.

A particular codon sequence of mRNA is AAA. The anticodon on the tRNA that binds to the mRNA codon is AAA. UUU. TTT. UUA. either UAA or TAA, depending on first base wobble. If AAG is the anticodon in tRNA, what is the matching codon on the mRNA? UUC. GUA. CAU. UGG. GUG. The enzyme Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is responsible for binding amino acids to tRNA. This requires energy from the release of two phosphates from ATP oxidizing the ATP to ADP. AFP. AMP. an enzyme. A ribosome has three tRNA binding sites, the one that releases the tRNA is Q. E. A. P. Attached ribosomes may feed their polypeptide chains (proteins) into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum while free ribosomes would feed theirs into the cytoplasm. There is only one initiator amino acid; it is met.

The site on the ribosome that holds the tRNA with the next amino acid to be added to the polypeptide chain. The synthesis of a protein from a mRNA template. Failure of paired chromosomes or sister chromatids to correctly separate into different daughter cells. The removal of noncoding regions from a mRNA transcript. DNA replication model in which the parental double helix remains intact and a synthesized double helix is composed of newly synthesized DNA strands. The noncoding regions of a mRNA transcript. A specialized base triplet at one end of a tRNA molecule that recognizes a particular complementary codon on an mRNA molecule The direction of synthesis for DNA and RNA polymerases.

A transfer RNA with a UGU anticodon is enzymatically conjugated to $^{14}$ C-labeled cysteine. The cysteine unit is then chemically modified to alanine (with the use of Raney nickel, which removes the sulfur atom of cysteine). The altered aminoacyl-tRNA is added to a protein-synthesizing system containing normal components except for this tRNA. The mRNA added to this mixture contains the following sequence: $$5^{\prime}-U U U U G C C A U G U U U G U G C U-3^{\prime}$$ What is the sequence of the corresponding radiolabeled peptide?
