KROK 1 2013 – Question 176 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
At the stage of translation in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the ribosome moves along the mRNA. Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds in a specific sequence, and thus polypeptide synthesis takes place. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide corresponds to the sequence of:
- A. rRNA nucleotides
- B. rRNA anticodons
- C. tRNA anticodons
- D. tRNA nucleotides
- E. mRNA codons
Hint
Ask which molecule serves as the template that the ribosome actually reads, and how the information in it is arranged to specify each amino acid.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
