There are stop codons that signal the cell to stop translation. It includes UAA, UAG, UGA (Ochre, Ambel, Oper)...Because these stop codons do not code for any amino acids....

What would happen if the ribosomes were not functioning?
If the ribosomes were not functioning, protein synthesis would stop and the cell would die. The proteins that are produced in the cell control the cell's activities and without them, basic life functions would cease.
What would happen if a cell stopped making properly functioning RNA?
The mRNA may not transcribe the DNA code correctly, causing a mutation.
If transport protein that carry amino acid into a cell stop working how might the process shown be affected?
it will kill the organs
What happens if the amino acid STOP code is at the beginning or middle of a gene?
If this codon is a result of a mutation, the polypeptide will be prematurely terminated. The protein will be either non-functional and the organism will do without it, or the protein will become harmful to the organism.
Do genes make proteins?
Yes. Each codon specifies an amino acid or start or stop. A sequence of codons from start to stop is a gene and specifies a protein. note. this answer is about 98% accurate. Many minor differences are known and more remain to be discovered. What is known already fills a small book.
What code tells a cell to stop making a protein?
A codon at the end of RNA signals the end of transcription. This is encoded by the codon sequence UAA, UGA, or UAG.
How does the ribosome know how to stop making a protein?
It reaches one of the 3 possible stop codons on the mRNA: UAA, UGA, or UAG. These codons do not code for any amino acid, but instead cause the polypeptide release factor to cleave the newly made protein from the last tRNA. (ed. spelling - I mixed got my words up :)
What would result if ribosomes in a cell stopped working?
Ribosomes are vital for the creation of proteins. Without proteins, the cell cannot function, and would die.
How cell stop diffusion through protein channels?
by closing gates
What is true about aminoglycoside drugs is correct a. stop protein production b. are antimetabolites c. stop cell wall production d. aminoglycoside drugs include penicillins?
stop protein production
How do viruses cause cancer?
In your cell you have cancer suppressors such as the P53 or the ASP proteins that when they have genetic mutations of tumor cells they will stop the cell cycle. Viruses stop the Rb protein and the P53 so that the cell goes on creating "viral genetic code" like a normal virus does but doesn't know its causing cancer because the cell genome in unstable. cancer results.
What would happen if the ribosomes were not functioning?
If the ribosomes were not functioning, protein synthesis would stop and the cell would die. The proteins that are produced in the cell control the cell's activities and without them, basic life functions would cease.
What protein sequence is coded by the code UAG?
The sequence UAG is the mRNA codon that means "stop" and does not code for an amino acid.
What would be the most likely outcome if the ribosomes of a cell were damaged and stopped functioning?
The synthesis of enzymes would stop.
What would happen if a cell stopped making properly functioning RNA?
The mRNA may not transcribe the DNA code correctly, causing a mutation.
If transport protein that carry amino acid into a cell stop working how might the process shown be affected?
it will kill the organs
In genetics what is an open reading frame?
A region on a DNA that is between the start and stop codons and could possibly code for a protein
