What is the start codon and what amino acid does it code for?
AUG. The amino acid methionine. Bases read; adenine-uracil-guanine
Does every codon represent an amino acid?
No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.
What amino acid is technically not an amino acid?
proline is not an amino acid it is an imino acid
What amino acid does ACG code for?
It is Arginine
Are amino acids only represented by one codon?
No. Amino acids are not always represented by only one codon. Several may code for one amino acid.
How does the process of translation convert information?
From a nucleic acid code to an amino acid code
How is it possible for gene with a mutation in coding region to encode a polypeptide with the same amino acid sequence as the nonmutant gene?
If the mutant codon still codes for the same amino acid (a silent mutation). For example: GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG all code for the amino acid Valine. So if the mutation changed the codon from GUU to GUA - Valine would still be produced and therefore the polypeptide will be identical.
What is a possible mRNA sequence of the amino acid valine?
GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG
Will the resulting protein be affected if GUA is changed to GUU?
No, because though the nucleotides are different they code for the same amino acid, which will result in the same protein. Seeing that so many different codes can call for the same amino acids, allows for small mutations to be insignificant.
What codon is the code for the amino acid valine (Val)?
GUC
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
In the genetic code a group of three nitrogen bases codes for a?
amino acid
What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
How does translation convert the information?
From a nucleic acid code to an amino acid code
What is at the end of every code for an amino acid?
At the end of every code for an amino acid is the suffix -ineFor Example:MethionineValineLeucineAlanineSerineThis should probably be it :)
How does the process translation convert information?
From a nucleic acid code to an amino acid code
In What ways does translation change information?
...... From a nucleic acid code to an amino acid code
