Question

1. What impact can suppressor tRNA have on protein synthesis

A. It results in a longer than expected protein product

B. It results in a shorter than expected protein product

C. It causes the ribosome to dissociate from an mRNA transcript

D. It can insert amino acid at a site corresponding to a stop codon

E. A and D

2. The following type of mutation is most likely to result in an error protein synthesis:

A. Replacement of a G for U at the 5’ end of the anticodon

B. Replacement of a C for A at the 3’ end of the anticodon

C. Replacement of a U for a C at the 3’ end of the codon

D. A and C

E. None of the above
