Imagine an error occurring during DNA replication in a cell, so that where there is supposed to be a T in one of the genes there is instead a G. What effect will this probably have on the cell?
(1) The amino acid sequence of one of its kinds of proteins will be completely changed

(2) An amino acid will be missing from each of its kinds of proteins

(3) One of its kinds of proteins might contain an incorrect amino acid

(4) An amino acid will be missing from one of its kinds of proteins.

A sequence of pictures of polypeptide synthesis shows a ribosome holding two transfer RNAs. One tRNA has a polypeptide chain attached to it; the other tRNA has a single amino acid attached to it. What does the next picture show?
(1) The polypeptide chain moves over and bonds to the single amino acid

(2) The tRNA with the amino acid leaves the ribosome

(3) The amino acid moves over and bonds to the polypeptide chain

(4) The tRNA with the polypeptide chain leaves the ribosome
