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 does each codon in mRNA specify?
Each codeword on mRNA corresponds with a single amino acid. However, There can be multiple codewords corresponding with the same amino acid.
What type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.
For any one codon there can be only one what?
A single codon codes for a single amino acid.
How might a point mutation in a gene affect the reasulting protein?
point mutations include substitutions insertions and deletions of a single nuceotide in DNA. CONSIDER: insertions and deletions have a greater effect on proteins that do substiutions because insertions and deletions affect every amino acid that is specified by the nucleotides that follow the point of mutation CONSIDER: a substitution affects a single amino acid a change in more than one amino acid is more likely to alter the ability of the protein to function narmally than is a change in a single amino acid CONSIDER: follow me on twitter @Rocco_Gone_Ham
Can tryosine is a aliphatic amino acid?
aromatic amino acid
How many amino acids does a single tRNA has?
A single tRNA captures a single type of amino acid.
Why biuret regent react with single amino acid?
The biuret reagent should not react with a single amino acid. The reagent reacts when there is a peptide bond linking amino acids together. If you are seeing the biuret reagent react in the presence of a single amino acid, then there must be some amino acids that are still linked together.
Is glycylglycine a single amino acid residue?
yes
What does each codon in mRNA specify?
Each codeword on mRNA corresponds with a single amino acid. However, There can be multiple codewords corresponding with the same amino acid.
A mutation that alters a single amino acid within a protein can alter?
the primary, secondary, and tertiary level of a protein structure because once an amino acid is effected by a mutation in a single amino acid it ruins the entire protein on all levels
What type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.
How many amnio acids are attached to a single transfer rna?
A single transfer RNA (tRNA) carries a single amino acid.
How many amino acids are attached to a single transfer rna-?
There is only one amino acid that is attached to a single transfer RNA.
What is an advantage of having multiple codons for a single amino acid?
Sometimes, one-nucleotide transcription errors don't change the amino acid specified.

What is the sequence of bases in DNA that codes for a single amino acid?
A sequence of three nitrogen bases, called a codon, codes for a single amino acid.
What amino acid is technically not an amino acid?
proline is not an amino acid it is an imino acid
