Is a stop codon the same as a regulator?
In a sense. It regulates the length and the sequence of a polypeptide chain by terminating it's synthesis.
What is an initiator codon?
Initating codons- the small ribosomal subunit, the mRNA bonded to it, and the initator tRNA with its attached methionine form the initation complex.
What does AUG mean in biology?
AUG is a start codon. It starts transcription, which is the synthesis of mRNA
What function does condon AUG serve?
AUG is a "start codon" which initiates the process of translation in protein synthesis. It also carries the first amino acid of the polypeptide, methionine.
What tells the ribosome to begin making a polypeptide?
Start codon
How do you make a 10 codon sequence for a polypeptide?
A ten codon sequence for a polypeptide is formed when 10 codons. An example would be GGGAAACCCAGAAGGCGACGCCGGCGTNNN are found in an ammino acid linked by an amide bond.
What role does cytoplasm play in protein synthesis?
translation, where the ribsome converts mRNA codon into amino acids polypeptide
What is the process of polypeptide synthesis?
translation
What codon serves as the start codon for protein synthesis?
AUGMethionine is specified by the codon AUG, which is also known as the start codon. Consequently, methionine is the first amino acid to dock in the ribosome during the synthesis of proteins.
Why do all polypeptide chains start with methionine?
Because the nucleotide that codes for methionine also is the "start" signal, so whenever a polypeptide starts it uses the exact same code (AUG) so methionine must start every polypeptide chain.
When does the polypeptide stop growing?
It reaches a stop codon on the mRNA molecule
How many bases are in DNA codon?
Yo mama makes up a codon, JK.... The correct answer is that 3 nittrogen bases make up a codon.
