A-C-T-G are the possible nucleotides that comprise 3 positions for a codon. 4 possible nucleotides in 3 positions 4*4*4 = 64. Some of the codons are redundant for the amino acid they produces -- so there are not 64 amino acids.

Which type of RNA contains the codon?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains the codons, which are three-nucleotide sequences that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. The codons on mRNA are recognized by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which carry the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome for protein production.


How many codons are present on the mRNA strand?

There are 6 codon here. Look at the letters and put them into threes. Those three are called codons. Each codes for one amino acid and all of these is a string of threes which will make a small protein.


What molecule contains all of the codons needed to produce a particular polypeptide?

A single mRNA molecule has 3 codons i.e. 1 amino acid. The question is flawed and does not make sense!


Which two structures contain codons and anticodons?

Codons are found in mRNA molecules, which are involved in protein synthesis during translation. Anticodons, on the other hand, are found in tRNA molecules, which are responsible for carrying amino acids to the ribosome based on the mRNA codons.


Do you use mrna codons or trna anticodons for coding chart to tell us what amino acids are coded in dna coding strand?

The mRNA codons are used in the genetic code to specify which amino acids correspond to each three-nucleotide codon. tRNA anticodons complement the mRNA codons during translation to ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. Both mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons play essential roles in protein synthesis.
