A codon is made of RNA that is formed from organic molecules that mimic a segment of DNA in order to synthesize a protein.
The codon is a set of nucleotide units used to code for different amino acids. The nucleotides in DNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, usually represented by A, G, T, and C. When translated into RNA, that forms codons, thymine is replaced with uracil in a RNA chain. In sets of RNA are sets of many codons. A codon is a set of three nucleotides in RNA that are translated into amino acids to by a ribosome. These sets of amino acids are the building blocks to forming different proteins.

What does each single codon stand for or code for protein production to stop?
Each messenger-Rna codon stands for one [unique] Amino Acid. ONE mRna - called f-Met Rna - IS [represents] The Start Codon. There are also more than one Stop Codons.
What does each codon code for?
Each codon codes for a specific amino acid.
What term refers to each chemical verision of gene?
"codon"
What is the relationship between codons and anticodons?
A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
What does each codon code for?
Each codon codes for a specific amino acid.
What does each single codon stand for or code for protein production to stop?
Each messenger-Rna codon stands for one [unique] Amino Acid. ONE mRna - called f-Met Rna - IS [represents] The Start Codon. There are also more than one Stop Codons.
What types of RNA have each codon and anticodon?
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.
How many nucleotides are in a codon?
A three-nucleotide sequence makes up a codon.
What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
What is a triplet of nucleotides that is the code for one amino acid?
I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.
What term refers to each chemical verision of gene?
"codon"
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
How many bases are in an anti-codon?
3 bases make up an anti-codon, 3 bases also make up a codon
How many codons are incolved ina polypeoptide that has 5 amino acids?
Simple answer FIVE. Each codon is made up of links. There are three links to the codon. Each codon codes for a single amino acid. A polypeptide is a string of amino acids. The term is usually used for smaller polypeptide chains. Larger chains are usually referred to as proteins although not all proteins are simply polypeptides. Heomoglobin, for example, contains a heme group.
What factor changes the type of protein a gene codes for?
well the gene code itself, each codon (and anti-codon) codes for different proteins
What is the relationship between codons and anticodons?
A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon
