RNA like DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted to form a double helix true or false?
false
True or false A codon signifies either a specific amino acid or a stop signal?
It is false that all amino acids are specified by only one codon. The codon is simply the language that is used to relay information concerning the messenger ribosomal nucleic acid.
Why is the anticodon AGA complementary to the codon UCU?
The only base-pairs that are possible are: Adenine - Uracil (for RNA, since the question refers to codon and anticodon) Guanine - Cytosine The reason for this particular base pairing is that it is the only possible combination for the hydrogen bonds between the bases to be effectively made.
Is the 5 carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides called a ribose?
It is true, RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose.
How does the eukaryotic initiation complex locate the true start codon?
The initiation complex moves the small ribosomal subunit through the 5 UTR, scanning for the start AUG
What does a group of three nucleotides code for?
DNA nucleotides 'code' for RNA copies of the DNA strand, but the true 'coding' of nucleotides happen in the ribosome where amino acids are matched to the RNA nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA are only are present to store genetic data. When a particular gene needs to be used or a protein needs to be made, a RNA copy of the DNA will be made, using the slightly different RNA nucleotides (adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine). This copy then leaves the nucleus and travels to the ribosome, where the RNA nucleotides are used to assemble amino acids into proteins. Each amino acid matches up to a three-nucleotide sequence.

Are nucleotides are polymers made of amino acids?
True
What is a true statement about codons?
In translation, an mRNA codon is recognized by its complementary tRNA. /\
What is the best true sample of the true members of different stars consists of?
The best true sample of the true members of different stars consists of
Caused by the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in DNA?
The deletion or insertion of one nucleotide into the DNA sequence will result in a frameshift mutation which changes the reading frame that the tRNA follows when assembling amino acids from the DNA sequence. Each amino acid is coded for by a codon of three specific nucleotides. Shifting this frame can result in a different amino acid being added to the growing polypeptide chain. Also, a stop codon can be read and thus prematurely end the polypeptide chain. This creates incorrect and/or incomplete proteins. This could lead to serious problems if essential proteins are being saccrificed due to the mutation.
The DNA of all living organisms is composed of the same nucleotides It is only the sequence of nucleotides and quantity of DNA an organism possesses that cause the differences between organisms?
True
Is NOT true about DNA?
A.MADE OF REPETING SUBstens called nucleotides B.contains codes for your genes

It is true, RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose.
True of False Class crustacea consists of mainly aquatic species?
TRUE
