The structure is a triplicate code known as a codon.

Judging by the codon present in the ribosome the circle labeled "1" is most likely to be purple.
We identify the tRNA with the opposite matching code. The codon present in the ribosome is green, blue, brown, so we look for the tRNA with the code brown, red, green. This tRNA can be seen carrying apurple amino acid.

"1"	Purple
"2"	Green
"3"	Red
"4"	Orange
"5"	Blue
"6"	Purple

"A"	Ribosome
"B"	Nucleus
"C"	Amino acid
"D"	mRNA
"E"	tRNA

Translation of mRNA- Exercises

Name the structure labeled "A" on the diagram on the left.

What colour will the circle labeled "1" be?

Solution

Look at the code on the mRNA and identify the colours of each circle.

"1"	Blue Red Purple Green Orange Grey.
"2"	Blue Red Purple Green Orange Grey.
"3"	Blue Red Purple Green Orange Grey.
"4"	Blue Red Purple Green Orange Grey.
"5"	Blue Red Purple Green Orange Grey.
"6"	Blue Red Purple Green Orange Grey.

Solution

Solution

Name the structures labeled:

"A"	Ribosome Nucleus Amino acid mRNA tRNA
"B"	Ribosome Nucleus Amino acid mRNA tRNA
"C"	Ribosome Nucleus Amino acid mRNA tRNA
"D"	Ribosome Nucleus Amino acid mRNA tRNA
"E"	Ribosome Nucleus Amino acid mRNA tRNA

Choose from the following words, ribosome, tRNA, nucleus, amino acid, mRNA.

What is the code represented by "???"?

What is the name of the structure with the code "AUG"?
