Question 1
What is the modification to the initiator methionine tRNA in bacteria?
◦ Methylation
◦ Phosphorylation
◦ Acetylation
◦ Formylation
◦ Sumoylation
Question 2
What step in transcription/translation generally has the lowest error rate?
◦ Insertion of the incorrect aminoacyl tRNA into the ribosome
◦ Charging of the wrong amino acid onto a tRNA
◦ Insertion of the wrong amino acid into a growing protein
◦ Insertion of the wrong base in mRNA during transcription
◦ All occur at about the same rate.
