How are codons used in polypeptide formation?
Four 'types' of nucleotide bases - when they are read three-at-a-time - this is considered to be a triplet-codon. Triplet codons are individually related to one specific amino acid, a polypeptide being a short protein.
How many codons are in aaaugcucguaa?
There are four codons in AAA UGC UCG UAA. A codon is a sequence made of three nitrogenous bases. Codons have particular features, making it possible for them to be start codons, stop codons, introns, or exons.
Do DNA have codons?
Yes, DNA has codons. Codons are three nucleotides of DNA which code for a single amino acid.
What three letter code tells that the protein ia complete?
The three letter code that indicates which amino acid comes next in a protein is called a codon. These codons are on the mRNA transcript that is read by ribosomes to translate into protein.
Are there three bases on the mRNA called codons?
All mRNA and DNA sets of three are codons, and rRNA is anti-codons.
If a section of mRNA contains 144 nucleotides how many codons does it contain?
Codons are read in triplets (3) so divide 144 by 3
If a nucleotide is added or removed from a DNA molecule and mrna is created the codons after the mutation will not be read correctly this is a?
Mutation

How many start and stop codons are there?
There are 2 stop codons and 2 start codons
How many protein-coding codons are there?
61 codons specify the amino acids used in proteins and 3 codons (stop codons) signal termination of growth of the polypeptide chain...so 64 total

Trna has codons or anticodons?
anti-codons for sure!
Are there three bases on the mRNA called codons?
All mRNA and DNA sets of three are codons, and rRNA is anti-codons.
What meaning do the first and last codons have for protein synthesis?
Codons are used for making amino acids. Some codons will tell the ribosomes to start tell the tRNA to make the amino acids or to stop making amino acids. I like to think of the start/initiator/promoter codon(AUG) as a capital letter in a sentence and the stop/terminator codons(UAA, UAG, and UGA) as periods in a sentence.
Which codons are the stop signals?
There are three such codons known as stop codons, which are UAA, UAG, or UGA.
