Question 40
To determine the chromosome change, we analyze the diagram:
- Deletion: Loss of chromosome segment (not shown here as segments are exchanged).
- Insertion: Addition of a segment (not the case here).
- Inversion: Reversal of a segment (diagram shows exchange between chromosomes, not reversal).
- Translocation: Exchange of segments between non - homologous chromosomes. The diagram shows parts of Chromosome 1 and Chromosome 2 being exchanged, which is translocation.
We know that there are 64 codons (since \(4^3=64\), as codons are 3 - nucleotide sequences and there are 4 types of nucleotides) and 20 amino acids.
- Option a: The genetic code is degenerate, meaning several different codons can code for the same amino acid. For example, multiple codons code for serine.
- Option b: Not true, as the code is degenerate (multiple codons for one amino acid).
- Option c: All amino acids are linked to codons (the genetic code translates codons to amino acids).
- Option d: Not true, as the code is degenerate (e.g., leucine is coded by 6 different codons).
(Structure Identification):
- A: Ribosome (site of protein synthesis, binds to mRNA).
- B: mRNA (carries genetic code from DNA, has codons).
- C: Anticodon (part of tRNA, complementary to mRNA codon).
- D: tRNA (transfers amino acids to ribosome, has anticodon).
- E: Amino acid (carried by tRNA, added to polypeptide).
- F: Codon (3 - nucleotide sequence on mRNA, codes for amino acid).
- G: mRNA (same as B, the messenger RNA strand).
