The diagram of a eukaryotic ribosome shown below contains several errors
Part A
Examine the diagram carefully, and identify each error. Select all that apply.
the number of ribosomal subunits is incorrect
the ribosome is moving in the wrong direction along the MRNA
the amino acid on the tRNA in the A site is incorrect
the terminal amino acid of the peptide is incorrect
the MRNA incorrectly contains Ts
the MRNA incorrectly contains adenines
small ribosomal subunit size is incorrect
the amino acids on the tRNA in the P site are incorrect
large ribosomal subunit size is incorrect
the anticodon sequence of the tRNA in the P site is incorrect
the tRNA incorrectly contains cytosines
1. TRUE
The number of ribosome subunits = 2
Prokaryotes = 50S + 30S
Eukaryotes = 60S + 40S
2. TRUE
The ribosome translocates along the mRNA in 5'-3' direction
3. TRUE
Codon = 3'-ACC-3'
Anticodon should be 5'-UGG-3'
4. TRUE
The N-terminal amino acid should be Met
5. TRUE
The mRNA contains Uracil in the place of Thymine
6. FALSE
The mRNA contains AUGC bases.
7. TRUE
Prokaryotes = 50S + 30S
Eukaryotes = 60S + 40S
8. TRUE
GCA = Ala
9. TRUE
Prokaryotes = 50S + 30S
Eukaryotes = 60S + 40S
10. TRUE
The tRNA does not contain Thymine
11. FALSE
The base composition of tRNA = AUGC
