What step happens in translation?
The ribosome reaches the start codon.
How are proteins distributed in a cell?
The cell is first unzipped at the nucleus and the DNA is copied. It then travels in mRNA to the ribosomes where the information is read. The codon attaches to the anti codon of the tRNA, and the amino acids on top of the tRNA line up to create a protein chain.
What name is assigned to augwhich stands for methionine in which all mRNA molecules start?
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
What codon must every mRNA begin with?
They all begin with AUG, which is the start codon.
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
The RNA that has an anti-codon and attaches to a specific amino acid is?
tRNA
What step happens in translation?
The ribosome reaches the start 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 attaches to the mRNA strand as translation begins?
After the two ribosomal subunits attach to a strand of mRNA, a tRNA molecule with the amino acid methionine attaches to the start codon, AUG.
How are proteins distributed in a cell?
The cell is first unzipped at the nucleus and the DNA is copied. It then travels in mRNA to the ribosomes where the information is read. The codon attaches to the anti codon of the tRNA, and the amino acids on top of the tRNA line up to create a protein chain.
Adds the correct amino acid to the growing protein chain?
tRNA (transfer RNA) attaches to the mRNA by the codon and anticodon.Each tRNA carries an amino acid that corresponds to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the correct amino acid is added to the chain.
How many tRNA nucleotides form an anitcodon that will attach to the mRNA codon?
The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.
Does RNA help make proteins?
RNA is the code that determines what proteins will be made. RNA attaches to a ribosome where the complementary tRNA anti-codon bonds to the RNA codon ( A bonds to U and G bonds to C). The codon or anti-codon is only three base pairs long. Every tRNA has one of twenty amino acids attached and so therefor every RNA codon codes for a specific amino acid. The amino acids attach to each other forming a chain then fold and twist to create different proteins.
When a tRNA anticodon bind to an mRNA codon the amino acid detaches from the tRNA molecule and attaches to the end of a growing protein chain?
when another tRNA molecule attaches to the mRNA, and the first tRNA goes away leaving the first amino acid attached to the second.
What is a Complimentary codon?
A complimentary codon is one that pairs with another codon according to the base pairing rule. For example, the DNA codon ATG is complimentary to the mRNA codon UAC.
Complementary of a codon?
anti-codon.
What name is assigned to augwhich stands for methionine in which all mRNA molecules start?
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
