allowing for protein synthesis. Son the test tube is full of a polypeptide chains
composed of only the amino acid phenylalanine. What does this experiment
indicate?

A. most proteins are composed of only one type of amino acid

B. protein synthesis cannot function in a test tube

C. UUU codes for the amino acid phenylalanine

D. the amino acid phenylalanine is composed of uracil

This experiment indicates that UUU codes for the amino acid phenylalanine (Option C).

  • The messenger RNA (mRNA) is used as template to create a polypeptide during translation.

  • The triplets of nucleotides or 'codons' in mRNA indicate specific amino acids to the growing polypeptide.

  • The genetic code indicates that the codon UUU codes for phenylalanine.

In conclusion, this experiment indicates that UUU codes for the amino acid phenylalanine (Option C).
