What is mRNA? What does it do? e. What is a ribosome? What does it do? f. What is the genetic code? g. How many bases correspond to an amino acid? h. What is a codon? If you were looking at an mRNA and saw the codon AUG, what would you conclude about it?

Solution

E. A ribosome is a cellular organelles which aids in protein synthesis.

F. The genetic code is a sequence of nucleotides in an mRNA which codes for a specific amino acids.

G. Three bases correspond to an amino acid
