Which of the following describes the most likely effect that a single base substitution in the middle of a gene's sequence will have on the protein the gene encodes? O A single amino acid would change because pairing of MRNA and TRNA in the ribosome would change. O The protein would be shorter because the correct tRNA would not be able to interact with the ribosome. O All amino acids following the substitution would be affected because the reading frame would be altered. There would be no change because the genetic code is ambiguous.

Which of the following events would NOT result in ribosomes stalling on an MRNA during translation? The MRNA in a given region is very highly folded, and the ribosome stalls because the RNA structure blocks its movement. O The correct tRNA is scarce because it is not transcribed very much in the prevailing conditions. The ribosome stalls while waiting for one of the scarce tRNAS to diffuse into the A site. O the release tactor enters the A site, decodes a stop codon and transfers an oxxYgen from water to the carboxyl group of the peptidyl-tRNA in the P site, causing stalling O Starvation for amino acids will reduce the amount of amino-acylated (charged) tRNA the ribosome will stall while waiting for a charged tRNA to enter the A site to decode the next codon
Which of the following events would NOT result in ribosomes stalling on an MRNA during translation? The MRNA in a given region is very highly folded, and the ribosome stalls because the RNA structure blocks its movement. O The correct ERNA is scarce because it is not transcribed very much in the prevailing conditions. The ribosome stalls while waiting for one of the scarce tRNAS to diffuse into the A site. O the release tactor enters the A site, decodes a stop codon and transfers an oxygen from water to the carboxyl group of the peptidyl- RNA in the P site, causing stalling.
