What are the three nitrogen bases of DNA called?
no, 3 nitrogen bases combined are called codons you moron
What are the three bases of RNA and DNA put together called?
codon
What is a DNA triplet?
A DNA triplet is three consecutive nitrogenous bases in the code of DNA. We divide up DNA into sections of three because when the DNA is transcribed into mRNA and the mRNA is translated, the three bases of the mRNA (now called codons) determine which amino acid will be made.
What group of three nitrogenous bases in DNA or mRNA that code for one amino acid?
There are 4 nitrogenous bases characteristic of mRNA. Adenine, Cytosine, Uracil, and Guanine.
What is a change in the sequence of bases in DNA molecules called?
The change in the order of the bases in a DNA molecule is called a mutation. Such changes may happen because of damage to genomes, replication errors, or insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases.
What are the three nitrogen bases of DNA called?
no, 3 nitrogen bases combined are called codons you moron
What are the three bases of RNA and DNA put together called?
codon
What are the three bases on one strand of DNA or mRNA called?
codon
What do you call a 3 letter word on a mRNA molecule?
The three-base sequence on a tRNA molecule is known as an anti-codon. This matches up with the codon (another 3-base code) on the mRNA to ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the chain (protein) being created.
Are there three bases on the mRNA called codons?
All mRNA and DNA sets of three are codons, and rRNA is anti-codons.
What Substance in DNA is made of three bases?
Codon
What is a DNA triplet?
A DNA triplet is three consecutive nitrogenous bases in the code of DNA. We divide up DNA into sections of three because when the DNA is transcribed into mRNA and the mRNA is translated, the three bases of the mRNA (now called codons) determine which amino acid will be made.
Why can the structure of DNA be called a code?
DNA is composed of nucleotides, which each contain a nitrogenous base. The order of these bases is what determines the end product (protein) created by the DNA. Three of these bases make up what is known as a codon. This corresponds to a particular amino acid, which is added to the protein being created when this codon is read. So the bases of DNA code for certain amino acids.
What do the two sides of the DNA molecule do in DNA Replication?
There are four bases in a DNA "ladder"... It is called a ladder because of the "two sides" and the bases... In DNA replication, they obviously replicate and the two sides are replicated as are the bases. (A,T,C,G)
Changes in the order of the bases within DNA?
Are called mutations.
What is a triplet of nucleotides that is the code for one amino acid?
I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.
What are four molecules that form DNA?
Nucleobases (or nucleotide bases/nitrogenous bases/aglycones) provide the nucleotide structure necessary to form base pairs. The primary nucleobases are cytosine, guanine, adenine (DNA and RNA), thymine (DNA) and uracil (RNA), abbreviated as C, G, A, T, and U, respectively. They are usually simply called bases in genetics. Because A, G, C, and T appear in the DNA, these molecules are called DNA-bases; A, G, C, and U are called RNA-bases. From Wikipedia
