What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
How do you read the circular genetic codon table?
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
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.
For which amino acid is the one letter code q?
glutamine This is the side chain amidated form of Glutamate, so it is quite polar but carries no formal electrical charge when present in a polypeptide. You can find a good introductory description of the amino acids, their structures and classification, at this web site www.bio.davidson.edu/Biology/aatable.html
Where can you find amino acid tx2-6?
In Brazil
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 ! [=
In which molecule would you find an anti-codon?
an anti-codon is a code for an amino acid found on protein

How do you read an amino acid chart?
The codon you are trying to read should have three letters in it; each one will represent a nitrogenous base (U for Uracil, C for Cytosine, A for Adenine, and G for Guanine. Find the first nitrogenous base under the column labeled First Base, which will usually be located on the column on the very left. Next, find the second nitrogenous base under the column labeled Second Base, which is usually the four columns in the center of the chart. Then, find the third nitrogenous base under the column labeled Third Base, which will usually be located on the very right of the chart. Finally, find where the three letters on the chart meet, which will give you the amino acid that the mRNA codon will translate to.ex. If the mRNA codon is CAG, I'll find C under First Column, A under Second Column, and G under Third Column. I then see where the three letters meet, which gave me the amino acid Glutamine (Glu for short).
Number the mRNA codons in the transparency from left to right Write down the anticodon each codon pairs with Then translate each codon into the amino acid it codes for Use the chart in your text to?
This question requires a strand of mRNA to be given so you can copy the codons and then find the anticodons which will give you the amino acids. Your question is identical to mine from a work booklet pg 68#6 just flip back to page 67 and you'll see a 14 codon mRNA strand!
Where do you find a anticodon?
Codon is found on the messenger RNA(m RNA).During translation, the codons on the m RNA are read by the ribosome and amino acid corresponding to the codon is added. when ribosome encounters a stop codon (UAG,UGA and UAA) translation terminates.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.
What codon codes for amino acids phenylalanine did scientist find?
There are two codons that code for the amino acid phenylalanine: UUU and UUC.
For which amino acid is the one letter code q?

What is the first amino acids in most proteins?
Methionine. It functions as the "start" codon (tells the translation apparatus to start translating) and as a result is usually the first amino acid. However, it is frequently removed later. Methionine is by far the most common amino acid to find at the beginning of a chain, and will almost always have been there at some stage during protein synthesis. There is no other amino acid you can confidently claim is the first amino acid in anything but a small proportion of proteins.
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)
