The diagram shows protein synthesis in a prokaryote. [Diagram of protein synthesis in a prokaryote showing DNA, cell wall, X, Y, tRNA 1, tRNA 2, mRNA sequence AUG-CCU-AAG-UUG-CCC] Which row is correct for molecule X, structure Y and the anticodon of tRNA 1?
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
Amolecule X: amino acid, structure Y: 80S ribosome, anticodon of tRNA 1: AAC
Bmolecule X: polypeptide, structure Y: 80S ribosome, anticodon of tRNA 1: UUG
Cmolecule X: polypeptide, structure Y: 70S ribosome, anticodon of tRNA 1: AAC
Dmolecule X: protein, structure Y: 70S ribosome, anticodon of tRNA 1: UUG
✓ Correct answer
C: molecule X: polypeptide, structure Y: 70S ribosome, anticodon of tRNA 1: AAC
