Homework 3 Instructions: These questions are based on lecture material but may require odditionol research using your textbook or other outside resources. 1. The schematic below represents a simplified view of the bacterial translation complex. Total 27 points 1a. Choose from the list below to fill in the 5 boxes with the best label assignment. 15 pts] DNA, RNA, E site, P site, A site, Large subunit, Small subunit, tRNA, Amino acid, Start codon UGAAUGAACUUUGA 5' 3* 1b. Reference the genetic code table in your textbook to write the sequence of the polypeptide assembled by the translation of the mRNA shown above. Indicate the amino and the carboxyl ends. 6 pts 1c. A fellow student argues that the above drawing is incorrect since the initiating charged tRNA is being shown entering the middle binding site of the ribosome instead of the far right site. Is the student's argument correct? Why or why not? [5 pts] 1d. What chemical bond allows the anticodon of the charged tRNA to bind the mRNA codon?12 ptsExplanation / Answer
1 (a). Bacterial translation complex (read clockwise starting from left)
(b)Translation of the mRNA will give
-N- fMet-Asn-Glu-Leu-C
Translation begins at start codon AUG and ends at stop codon UGA
