Answer 1

Here are the answers based on the questions you provided:

1. The amino acid corresponding to the provided mRNA codons:

   • UGG: Tryptophan (Trp)
   • GUA: Valine (Val)
   • UGA: Stop codon (it does not correspond to any amino acid)
   • CAC: Histidine (His)

2. For the given DNA code CGT:

   • mRNA codon: GCA (since the complementary base pairing rules apply: C pairs with G, G pairs with C, T pairs with A)
   • Amino Acid: Alanine (Ala)

3. All codons are three bases long.

4. The base sequence for the mRNA "start codon" is AUG (AUG codes for Methionine, which is the start amino acid).

5. All proteins begin with the amino acid Methionine (Met).

6. Translation takes place in the ribosomes of the cell.

7. tRNA has an anticodon at one end that complements the mRNA codon and at the other end, it carries an amino acid.

8. There are different kinds of 20 amino acids.

9. Amino acids are held together by peptide bonds.

10. Translation ends when the ribosome reaches a stop codon.
