Which monomer makes up a polypetide?

Amino acids are the basic monomer that forms polypeptides.


What amino acid always begin a polypetide during translation?

Formed by the sequence AUG, it forms the start codon methionine.


Do ribosomes store the information necessary to produce proteins?

No, ribosomes do not store the information necessary to produce proteins. They function by reading the information present in messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules and using it to synthesize proteins. The genetic information needed for protein synthesis is contained within the DNA of a cell.


What carries amino acids to ribosomes where amino acids are linked into the primary structure of a polypetide?

specific t-RNA carries its specific amino acids to ribosomes which is attached to m-RNA.m-RAN have codons to which t-RNA with complimentary anticodon attaches and primary structure of polypeptides synthesized.


What happens to the resulting polypeptide when 1 nucleotide pair is lost from the middle of the coding sequence of a gene?

It could have a number of effects. Can have varying effects from having a severe effect to having no effect at all, it is all dependant on where the deletion occurs.The primary transcript has these main components: 5' Cap; 5' Untranslated region; The Coding Region; The 3' Untranslated Region; Paly-A Tail.Fistly Let us look at a deletion in the mRNA transcript in the coding region. RNA code for amino acids in triplets, i.e. every 3 RNA bases code for an amino acid, which are strung together to form the polypetide chain.Here is a hypothetical mRNA coding sequence.DNA Triplets: AUG UCC CUA GCG GGG ACU UAGAmino Acids: START Ser Leu ALA Gly Thr STOPDeletion of the C Base in the codon UCC will cause all the bases to shift left, which will give you this:DNA Triplets: AUG UCC UAG CGG GGA CUU AGAmino Acids: START Ser STOP --- --- ---Although the 1st codon remians the same, the second codon now becomes a stop codon, i.e. one which marks the end of translation. This is a premature stop codon, and will result in nonsense mediatd decay which will mean you do not get any functional protein being formed.This is not the only thing that can happen. there are many possibilities, but the main jist is that a deletion of a single base will change the codon sequence of the subsequent polypetide sequence, provided the deletion occurs in the coding region.Outside the coding region? In the 5' untranslated region, you will still get the shift left, but this will be before the start codon, which is where the triplets start to matter from, and will therefore, potentially have no ill effect on the polypetide sequence. The same goes for the 3' Untranslated region.

What are the two basic steps of polypetide synthesis?

The two basic steps of polypeptide synthesis are transcription and translation. During transcription, the DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus. This mRNA then travels to the ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs, and the genetic code is used to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain, forming a protein.


How many amino acids are used in the synthesis of body protein?

They have varying numbers, as different amino acids form different polypetide chains, which form different amino acids in the way they become folded to suit their function


How is it that you have at least two genes for each trait?

I think there are two possibilities 1. A gene is the contiguious series of codons ,nothing but series of triplet codons. So as we know that an aminoacid coded by more than one codon(except Methionine and tryptophan) atleast two codon codes for each amino acids. So a trait that is in the sense of a polypeptide which made by joinig by series of aminoacids which may be coded by different codons. 2. Due to trans splicing as here two different genes are involved in synthesis of a single polypetide.
