What is the initiator codon in most molecule of mRNA?
AUG
What is an initiator codon?
Initating codons- the small ribosomal subunit, the mRNA bonded to it, and the initator tRNA with its attached methionine form the initation complex.
Translation begins when the initiator tRNA binds to the?
Initiation involves binding of mRNA and initiator aminoacyl-tRNA to small subunit, followed by binding of large subunit. Initiation codon in mRNA (AUG)
Where does initiation of translation occur?
An initiation complex for translation forms by the assembly of the ribosomal subunits and initiator tRNA (met-tRNA) at the start codon on the mRNA.
What is the term for a 3-nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for an amino acid?
the three nucleotides on a mRNA that codes for a amino acid is called a codon
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
What is a group of three nucleotides called?
This arrangement is called a codon.In DNA and RNA a group of three nucleotides in a row is called a codon. In tRNA a group of three nucleotides is called an anticodon.
What codon serves as the start codon for protein synthesis?
AUGMethionine is specified by the codon AUG, which is also known as the start codon. Consequently, methionine is the first amino acid to dock in the ribosome during the synthesis of proteins.
What are the bases on the mRNA strands are called?
A 3-base sequence of nitrogen bases on a molecule of mRNA is called a codon.
When the ribosome reads mRNA 3 bases at a time the bases are called a what?
a set of three nucleotides is called codons. A set of 3 nucleotides in a tRNA that attaches to the complimentary codon is called the anti-codon
What is the name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA?
The name of a series of 3 nucleic acids bases on the tRNA is called anticodon. The name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA is called codon.
Why is UAG codon called amber codon?
The UAG codon is a special kind of codon called a stop codon. There are three types of stop codons: amber, ochre, and opal. UAG is an mRNA codon that is specific for the amber stop codon. The amber codon was named after Harris Bernstein, then a Caltech graduate student, whose last name means "amber" in German. The related link points to an article that discusses the history a bit more.
