question 10

Multiple Choice

A tRNA molecule produced in a laboratory has the anticodon for the amino acid serine, but carries the amino acid lysine. When it reaches the serine codon on a molecule of mRNA where translation is under way, what is the most likely outcome?

• A)It will not bind with the codon on the mRNA molecule.
• B)A potentially dysfunctional protein will result.
• C)A proofreading enzyme will change lysine to serine.
• D)Translation will stop.
