Process of Translation

Read carefull...

Question

Read carefully the sequence of codons in the mRNA unit and answer the questions.
(a) What change is needed in the first codon to start the translation process?
(b) If translation starts by that change, till which codon it can continuous? Why?

Solution

a) AUG codon is the start codon for the translation process.
b) If translation starts from the start codon it will continue till the codon UGA.
UAG, UAA and UGA are stop codons in mRNA that mark the end of translation.

Q. In mRNA, AUG is the initiation codon and UAA, UAG and UGA are termination codons, therefore polypeptide cannot be synthesized beyond any of these triplets to the end of mRNA. Then which one of the following mRNA can be translated completely?

Q. What would happen, if the vertebrate mitochondrial DNA undergoing the process of translation and forming a polypeptide, a sudden mutation changes the

Q. Assertion :Untranslated regions are sequences of RNA before initiation codon and after termination codon. Reason: Untranslated regions provide stability to mRNA and also increase translational efficiency.
