- Multiple Choice
Which of the following chemical reactions provides the ribosome with the energy required to complete translation?

Which of the following represents the wobble hypothesis?
- Open QuestionSome proteins are composed of two or more polypeptides. Suppose the DNA template strand sequence 3′-TACGTAGGCTAACGGAGTAAGCTAACT-5′ produces a polypeptide that joins in pairs to form a functional protein.What is the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide produced from this sequence?
- Open QuestionIn this chapter, we focused on the translation of mRNA into proteins as well as on protein structure and function. Along the way, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions:On what basis have we concluded that proteins are the end products of genetic expression?
