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.
it decodes the mRNA to then the codons of the mRNA can interact with the anti-codons of the tRNA
All mRNA and DNA sets of three are codons, and rRNA is anti-codons.
These will be the codes for arginine: CGU, CGC, CGA, and CGG. See the chart at the link below:
61
Every codon is three nucleotide pairs, so you would have 25 codons.
mRNA is made up of anticodons
mRNA
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.
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.
A single mRNA molecule has 3 codons i.e. 1 amino acid. The question is flawed and does not make sense!
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.
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.
