Questions  

Identify the correct statement.

a
Gene coding for histones are split genes.
b
If genetic code is doublet, then 8 codons are formed.
c
Formation of a peptide bond during translation requires energy.
d
Codon is the sequence of nucleotides on m–RNA molecule.

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Formation of a peptide bond during translation requires energy. Therefore, in the first phase itself amino acids are activated in the presence of ATP and linked to their cognate tRNA – a process commonly called as charging of tRNA or aminoacylation of tRNA to be more specific. If two such charged tRNAs are brought close enough, the formation of peptide bond between them would be favoured energetically.If genetic code is doublet then 16 codons are formedGenetic code is the sequence of nucleotides on m–RNA molecule, which contains information for the synthesis of polypeptide chainGene coding for histones are non-split genes.
