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.
The start codon for protein synthesis is what?
AUGt
The initiation codon for the process of protein synthesis in eukaryotes is?
AUG
Why is it essential that tRNAbinds to both an aminoacid and an mRNA codonduringprotein synthesis?
since mRNA codon signals the beginning of protein synthesis and aminoacids are necessary for reading the codon
Which mRNA condon usually signals the beginning of protein synthesis?
Methionine is always the first amino acid in a protein, therefore the codon for Met would signal the beginning of protein synthesis. This codon is AUG.
What happens after the ribosome reaches the start codon?
When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.
What are the best nucleotide triplets that best represent a codon?
The best nucleotide triplets that represent a codon are Adenosine, Cytosine, Guanine, and Uracil (A, C, G, and U). These nucleotides form RNA molecules, which are used during protein synthesis to encode the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each triplet of nucleotides, or codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein synthesis.
What is a messenger Rna code word?
I assume the word you're looking for is "codon".
What is the start codon for mRNA?
The start codon for mRNA is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine. It signals the ribosome to start translation and is crucial for initiating protein synthesis.
Which of the following statements are correct with respect to protein synthesis?
1. If the codon AUG does not appear at the 5' end of mRNA, it codes for the amino acid methionine. 2. Many amino acids can be synthesized using one of two different codons. 3.Protein synthesis always starts with an initiation codon.
What is gene codon?
Codons are a series of three of the 4 nucelotides (bases) that call for the creation of one of 20 amino acids...or start or stop protein synthesis. Some amino acids have only one codon others have several. A C T G (U in RNA) ATC starts protein synthesis for example
