Uaa uga or uag codons found at the end of mrna?
termination codons
Which codons are the stop signals?
There are three such codons known as stop codons, which are UAA, UAG, or UGA.
What do you mean by stop codons?
a stop codon (or termination codon) is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.Three codons UAG,UAA & UGA are the stop codons, which denotes the end of the protien.
Codons found in messenger RNA?
Anticodons are sequences of three base pairs on a transfer RNA that correspond to (and subsequently pair up with) codons on messenger RNAs. These complementary pairs come together by forming hydrogen bonds. For example, a tRNA with the anticodon UUU may correspond to the codon AAA on the mRNA.
What three letter code tells that the protein ia complete?
The three letter code that indicates which amino acid comes next in a protein is called a codon. These codons are on the mRNA transcript that is read by ribosomes to translate into protein.
Uaa uga or uag codons found at the end of mrna?
termination codons
When does translation end?
Translation ends when a stop codon is reached. The stop codons are: * UAA * UAG * UGA
What mRNA codons would cause synthesis of a protein to terminate?
UAG

Which mRNA codons will start the process of translation?
If you're referring to stop codons, then there are three: UAA, UAG and UGA. They do indeed stop translation, though I wouldn't say they halt ribosomes. Stop codons code for a releaser enzyme, one that fits the A site of the ribosome, but does not carry an amino acid. This enzyme cuts the bond between the polypeptide and the last tRNA.
What determines where on the DNA molecule transcription begins and where it ends?
I think you are referring to translation - translation is the process of replicating the DNA sequence in order to produce a code for the production of a particular protein, known as an mRNA strand. This code is read in sequences of three bases known as codons. The beginning and end of the mRNA strand is determined by start and stop codons. Start codons, unlike stop codons, also need nearby sequences and initiation factors in order to begin translation. Start codons include base sequences of usually AUG or possibly GUG or UUG depending on the organism. There are three stop codons and these are UAG, UGA and UAA
What codons stop protein synthesis?
UAA, UAG, and UGA are stop codons.Sequence UAA, UAG, and UGA are the three stop codons. There is only one start codon, AUG.
What 3 codons do not carry amino acids?
There are three codons that do not code for any amino acids: the stop codons. These are TAG, TAA, and TGA (in DNA, not RNA).
Codons found in messenger RNA?
Anticodons are sequences of three base pairs on a transfer RNA that correspond to (and subsequently pair up with) codons on messenger RNAs. These complementary pairs come together by forming hydrogen bonds. For example, a tRNA with the anticodon UUU may correspond to the codon AAA on the mRNA.
What 3 codons act as termination?
uag/uaa/uga
What are the punctuation codons?
Punctuation codons are the three stop codons in the genetic code: UAA, UAG, and UGA. These codons signal the termination of translation during protein synthesis.
