A codon consists of a series 3 nucleotides. There are 4 possible nucleotides. These 4 nucleotides could appear in any combination with any number of repeats. That being the case, to find the possible number of mRNA codons requires simple math:
4 * 4 * 4 = 64
So there are 64 possible codons.

∙ 11y agoSince the genetic code is degenerative and redundant there are 64 different codons on the condon table.

Which type of RNA contains the codon?
Messenger RNA, or mRNA contains the codons. tRNA (transfer RNA) contains the anti-codons which bond to the codons of the mRNA. Amino acids are attached to the tRNA and form polypeptides based on the codons on the mRNA.
Which type of RNA contains codons?
Messenger RNA (mRNA). Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains anti-codons.
What is the sequence of 3 RNA bases called?
Among many things an RNA primer for DNA replication.
Which type of rna carries the codons for proteins synthesis from the DNA to the ribosome?
During transcription, mRNA is formed. This type of RNA carries codons. The m stands for messenger. This describes the job that mRNA fulfills in the DNA process.
Many RNA molecules from eukaryotic genes have sections called?
if i understand your question right, polymerase is my guess

Where are codons and anticpdpns found?
Codons are found on messenger RNA, while anticodons are found on transfer RNA
Which type of RNA contains codons?
Messenger RNA (mRNA). Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains anti-codons.
What is the sequence of 3 RNA bases called?
Among many things an RNA primer for DNA replication.
What type of RNA has neither anticodons or codons?
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
In terms of their nitrogenous base component how many different kinds of RNA molecules are there?
4
What amino acid chain will be formed by the codons pro cal pro?
Those are not DNA or RNA codons.
What does tRNA add to growing protein?
From Gene in the Chromosome you get a copy of gene in the form of messenger RNA. It goes to Ribosomes, with it'sparticularsequence of 3 base pairs each called Codons. Each Codon denotesparticular Amine acid only and 'not' other. There Messenger RNA may have sequences of codons from about 40 to 4000 inparticularsequence. Many number of Ribosomes making many copies of Proteins at a time. Many tRNA or Transfer RNA brings with them stock of amine acids. tRNA or Transfer RNA is short as compared to messenger RNA.(About 80 Nucleotide long.) But then 'many' tRNA or Transfer RNA come inresponseto Messenger RNA. These Transfer RNA translate codons fromMessengerRNA as Anti-codons and detects theparticularAmine acid to be attached to Ribosomes.So according to the order of Messenger RNA, Amine acids are put in position one by one to 'many' Ribosomes and 'many' copies of Proteins are formed at a time. Even if a single Amine acid is short, then the 'entire' chain is broken down and used for 'energy' purpose.
In a living system the structure of an enzyme is determined by the sequence of?
Codons in the RNA.
What in a gene determines a protein's composition?
A gene is made up of triplets of nucleotides called codons. Each codon translates for a a specific amino acid. Some codons don't translate for an amino acid; they are called stop codons or non-sense codons. When m-RNA transcribes the codon triplets and carry them to t-RNA, each amino acid is assembled by r-RNA in the order speicifed in the gene. Thus, the sequence of the codons in the genes is responsible for the sequence of proteins.
Three kinds of RNA?
The three kinds of RNA are: mRNA (messenger RNA) tRNA (transport RNA) rRNA
What type of RNA binds to codons and thus position attached amino acids in the correct order?
Transfer RNA, or tRNA.
