What else can I help you with?
On what molecule would you find the codon?
A codon is a set of three nucleotides that specifies which amino acid will be added to the growing protein during translationl. Since a codon is found in DNA and RNA, the NUCLEOTIDE BASESare the molecules that make up codons
What determines whether or not a specific tRNA can bind to an mRNA?
The complementarity between the anticodon on the tRNA and the codon on the mRNA determines whether a specific tRNA can bind to an mRNA molecule. If there is a match between the anticodon and codon, the tRNA will bind to the mRNA during translation.
What role does the codon play in initiating protein synthesis?
The codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid. During protein synthesis, the codon acts as a signal to start the process of translating the genetic code into a protein. It initiates the binding of the appropriate transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule carrying the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome, where the amino acids are linked together to form a protein.
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.
How many possible codons are there?
The answer to this question is 64 CODONS. Codons are the "words" consisting of the "letter" bases, which are a, u, g, and c. EXAMPLE: AUG (Methionine) and CAG (Glutamine) AUG and CAG are just two of the 64 possible codons.
If there are 1200 nucleotides in DNA strand how may codons will be in mRNA strand?
400 codons.Because 3 consecutive nucleotides in a gene together form a codon which codes for amino acids.
On what molecule would you find the codon?
A codon is a set of three nucleotides that specifies which amino acid will be added to the growing protein during translationl. Since a codon is found in DNA and RNA, the NUCLEOTIDE BASESare the molecules that make up codons
What do you call three tRNA nucleotides?
Three tRNA nucleotides form a codon, which corresponds to a specific amino acid during protein synthesis. In the context of tRNA, this triplet is often referred to as an anticodon, which pairs with the corresponding codon on mRNA to ensure the correct amino acid is incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain.
Is it 1 or 3 codons equal one amino acid?
One. A codon, made up of three DNA bases (ATG, for example) corresponds to one amino acid. A whole bunch of codons strung together on the DNA corresponds to a whole bunch of amino acids, ultimately strung together to form a peptide, or protein.
What are the best nucleotide triplets that best represent a codon?
The best nucleotide triplets that represent a codon are Adenosine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Uracil (A, C, G, and U). These nucleotides form RNA molecules, which are used during protein synthesis to encode the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each triplet of nucleotides, or codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein synthesis.
What attaches to a codon?
A transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule attaches to a codon during translation. The tRNA carries a specific amino acid corresponding to the codon, and the interaction between the tRNA and the codon helps in adding the correct amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain.
What has molecule?
The type of molecule that has codons are nucleic acids. A codon refers to a sequence of three nucleotides that form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule.
What does the order of nuclotides code for?
Nucleotides (A,T,C,G) are read in groups of three during transcription and translation. These groups of three nucleotides are called "codons". The codon codes for one of the 20 amino acids found in mammals. Amino acids are assembled in a chain to form a protein. So, the order of the nucleotides determines the composition and form of the desired protein.
What determines whether or not a specific tRNA can bind to an mRNA?
The complementarity between the anticodon on the tRNA and the codon on the mRNA determines whether a specific tRNA can bind to an mRNA molecule. If there is a match between the anticodon and codon, the tRNA will bind to the mRNA during translation.
What do all four DNA bases attach to?
I am not exactly sure what you mean, and there are a couple of different ways I can answer this. First, if you are talking about what they attach to during transcription/translation (protein synthesis), they eventually attach to their anti-codon's, which then attach to the corresponding amino acids to build a protein. If you are talking about what they physically attach to when in the double helix form (DNA), then the answer is a phosphate deoxyribose backbone.
How does an anticodon compare to a codon?
The anticodon is a sequence of three unpaired nucleotides in transfer RNA, which can bind through base pairing, to the complementary triplet of nucleotides, or codon in a messenger RNA molecule. The codon makes up the genetic code, the anticodon makes the amino acid.
What role does the codon play in initiating protein synthesis?
The codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid. During protein synthesis, the codon acts as a signal to start the process of translating the genetic code into a protein. It initiates the binding of the appropriate transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule carrying the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome, where the amino acids are linked together to form a protein.
