How many tRNA nucleotides form an anitcodon that will attach to the mRNA codon?

The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.

∙ 15y agotRNA carries the protein to the mRNA; it builds the protein and is then released.

∙ 14y agoThree. same as a codon :)
in fact, an anticodon is the piece that fits onto the codon.
ex. GTC will fit with CAG

∙ 13y agoThe anticodon codes for a specific amino acid to which it attaches.

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?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is composed of long strings of nucleotides. These nucleotides are further arranged into groups of three, called codons. There are 64 possible combinations of codons, and they code for 20 amino acids in all (some amino acids are coded for by more than one codon.) Transfer RNA (tRNA) is composed of the same nucleotides as mRNA. One specific location on a tRNA molecule, known as the anticodon, is capable of linking to the codon on the mRNA. This is determined by the same rules that allow these bonds to form in other DNA/RNA. Uracil may link with Adenine, and Cytosine may link with Guanine. U and A form two hydrogen bonds, while C and G form three. Thus, a tRNA's anticodon (and, more specifically, the rules governing the bonds between nucleotides) is what determines whether it will bind to an mRNA codon, bringing with it the amino acid that the mRNA codon codes for.
How is translation in biology similar to language translation?
Information from the nucleotides is translated to information in amino acids through a process of translation. Three nucleotides together form what is called a 'codon'. Each codon (set of three nucleotides in sequence)codes for one amino acid. There are three codons that also code for the 'stop' signal that indicates where the translation should stop. There is also one 'start' codon that indicates where the translation should start.
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.
What is a segment of DNA that codes for a particular trait or protein?
A gene. DNA codes for messenger RNA: each DNA nucleotide complementarily hydrogen-bonds with RNA nucleotides. A codon is a segment of three nucleotides in the RNA molecule that carries the code of one amino acid. A codon complementarily and very specifically hydrogen bonds with the anticodon of a tRNA molecule. The amino acids encoded by the messenger RNA join to form a polypeptide chain through a polymerization process.
What attaches to a codon?
The open A side attaches to the codon. The codon is three nucleotides that stick together and form a genetic code in a DNA.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
