When looking at the chart, the first letter in the codon is located on the left hand side of the chart. The second letter is at the top of the chart. Find when these two letter intersect. Then look at the third letter. It is found on the right hand side of the chart, in the box where one and two intersect. That should give you the name of the amino acid that is made when that codon is read during protein synthesis

When the DNA code is read?
Complex answer. Google the Sanger method and dideoxyribonucleic acid to get the fuller picture.
A T C G G A what would the complimentary mRNA strand read?
The Rna triplet codon GUA, Thymine being replaced by Uracil in all Rna's.
How are proteins distributed in a cell?
The cell is first unzipped at the nucleus and the DNA is copied. It then travels in mRNA to the ribosomes where the information is read. The codon attaches to the anti codon of the tRNA, and the amino acids on top of the tRNA line up to create a protein chain.
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.
What is the maximum number of amino acids that could be coded for by a sextion of mrna with the sequence guucagaacugu?
A codon is three bases long - so this section of mRNA would have 4 codons; UGA-UUC-AGU-AAC.Each codon relates to a specific amino acid (but several codons can code for the same amino acid, for example both UUU and UUC code for the amino acid Phenylalanine).Normally if you have four codons, such as this section of mRNA, the maximum number of amino acids you could have would be four. However, the first codon in this section, UGA, is actually a STOP codon. This means that when the ribosome reaches this codon, no further amino acids will be joined.This means that no amino acids could be coded for with this section of mRNA. (If the order of the codons was reversed, making the STOP codon last, then the answer would be three).

What is the genetic code read in?
Three-base triplets called codons. Each codon will be translated into an amino acid during the process of translation.
What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?
Transcription
When a cell needs a particular protein synthesized messenger RNA is produced from DNA through transcription how is genetic information read from mRNA?
mRNA is translated into protein by the ribosome, which reads the mRNA 5' --> 3'. The mRNA contains the 'genetic code', which consists of triplet codons that are complementary to the anticodon loop of various tRNAs that have amino acids attached. mRNA is threaded through the ribosome, the tRNA matching a given codon comes in and pairs with that codon, the amino acid contained on that codon is added to the polypeptide chain. This continues until a codon is reached for which there is no amino acid. In this case, the ribosome will fall off the mRNA and the polypeptide chain will be released, as a complete protein.
What is a codon chart?
The genetic code is a series of three bases in a row called a codon. Each codon represents and amino acid. For example, the DNA strand AAA-TCT would code for the amino acids lys-ser. You'll need a codon chart to find codons, which can be found online. Hope this helps ! [=
WHAT HAPPEN IF YOU CHANGE A SINGLE BASE CODON?
If one base in a codon was changed, this would be a point mutation. This may not cause any change in the structure of the protein, or it could be severely damaging. Since most amino acids have more than one codon, it's possible that the mutation would result in one of the other codons for that amino acid. In that case, there would be no change in the sequence of amino acids, and no change in the structure or function of the protein. A point mutation might also result in a codon that codes for a totally different amino acid, which can cause a genetic disorder. One example of a genetic disorder caused by a point mutation is sickle cell anemia. It's also possible that the point mutation could cause the codon to code for a stop signal. Please read the article in the related links for more information.
Use the mRNA sequence aug-gga-aau-cgg-uca to determine the resulting amino acid sequence?
AUG: Methionine (start codon for transcription) AAU: Asparagine GGC: Glycine UCG: Serine AUC: Isoleucine UGA: Stop codon (this does not encode for an amino acid)
Some say the periodic table is read like a book Explain how you read the periodic table and how this can give you information about elements in the table?
you read it from left to right
MRNA has codons or anti codons?
Great Question. The triplet Codon, as represented by the sequence of Dna bases, would appear to be inverted into anti-Codon form in the mRna molecule. This makes the triplet Codon on the transfer-Rna Codon form.
A T C G G A what would the complimentary mRNA strand read?
The Rna triplet codon GUA, Thymine being replaced by Uracil in all Rna's.
What happens if you change a single base in codon?
If one base in a codon was changed, this would be a point mutation. This may not cause any change in the structure of the protein, or it could be severely damaging. Since most amino acids have more than one codon, it's possible that the mutation would result in one of the other codons for that amino acid. In that case, there would be no change in the sequence of amino acids, and no change in the structure or function of the protein.
