Lab: Building Proteins from RNA

Question 34 • GA-GSE Biology CR

Suppose the following amino acid chain was created based on a student's transcription and translation:Tyr-Leu-Pro-MetIn the chain, which data show a possible source of error? Explain the error.

Answer

Answer:

Met should be at the beginning of the chain because it is coded by the AUG start codon. Since it appears at the end, the student may have worked backward during transcription.
