During protein synthesis, three continuous bases on a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, known as a codon, encode different amino acids. Codons on the mRNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of a protein by the ribosome.

What is a anticodons?
A sequence of three nucleic acid bases on transfer RNA molecules which recognizes and binds to three corresponding bases (called a codon) of messenger RNA. During protein synthesis this interaction ensures that the amino acid encoded by the codon is added to the growing protein.
What three components are necessary to iniate protein synthesis?
The components of protein synthesis are the 2 subunits of the ribosome, the mRNA, and the tRNA.
What is the sequence of three bases found on a stand of tRNA used to pair with mRNA in protein synthesis?
I think the 3 base sequence found on tRNA is called an anticodon
What is gene codon?
Codons are a series of three of the 4 nucelotides (bases) that call for the creation of one of 20 amino acids...or start or stop protein synthesis. Some amino acids have only one codon others have several. A C T G (U in RNA) ATC starts protein synthesis for example
What is the one job in whack most RNA molecules are involved?
There are at least three major class of RNAs, namely mRNA, tRNA and rRNA which are involved in coding the message (for protein), function in protein synthesis and making ribosomes respectively.
How many different types of RNA are there in protein synthesis?
There are three main types of RNA in protein synthesis. They are ribosomal, transfer and messenger. There are other types of RNA but these are the most significant ones.
How many codones are neded for a single amino acid?
3, a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid.The code defines how sequences of three nucleotides, called codons, specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis
What organelles participate in protein synthesis?
There are three organelles involved in protein synthesis. Golgi Apparatus, flattened membrane sacs and vesicles chemically modify protein. Rough Endoplastic Reticulum, contains a network of membranous sacs that bring synthesized proteins to the service. Ribosomes, which have two units, small and large, initializes and completes the protein synthesis.
What is a codon and how many codons exist?
Assuming you do not have a typo in your question, a codon is a triplet of adjacent nucleotides in the messenger RNA chain that codes for a specific amino acid in the synthesis of a protein molecule.
Synthesis of a protein stops when?
it stops when an amino acid is missing from the diet
Does a sequence of three bases form a amino acid?
No, a sequence of three bases (called a codon) does not directly form an amino acid. However, each codon in a sequence of DNA or RNA corresponds to a specific amino acid, according to the genetic code. The sequence of codons determines the order in which amino acids are assembled during protein synthesis.
What are the punctuation codons?
Punctuation codons are the three stop codons in the genetic code: UAA, UAG, and UGA. These codons signal the termination of translation during protein synthesis.
