Given a chunk of DNA sequences how do you find out if it contains a gene?
In order to find a gene jsut look for a start codon near a promoter and then look for a stop codon in the sequence everything between the start and the stop codon is a gene
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.
Do stop codon have an amino acid?
A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.
What is the stop codon in most molecules of mRNA?
stop codon on mRNA
What codon must every mRNA begin with?
They all begin with AUG, which is the start codon.
What is an open frame?
open reading frame is the sequence of nucleotides which start up with the start codon and end up with the stop codon.

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 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.
Do stop codon have an amino acid?
A stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) only codes for a stop. No amino acid results from a stop codon.
What is the stop codon in most molecules of mRNA?
stop codon on mRNA
What happens at a start codon?
A start codon signals the start of translation
What codon must every mRNA begin with?
They all begin with AUG, which is the start codon.
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 what and what are stop codons?
The start codon on a messenger RNA strand marks the start point of translation from RNA to protein. It is nearly invariably AUG (which translates to the amino acid methionine). Tip for remembering: "Are you good?" The stop codon on the other hand marks the end point of translation. It can be UAG, UAA or UGA. Tip for remembering: "You are good"/"You are awful"/"You are good and awful"
What is the function to stop a codon?
the stop codon uaa, uag, or uga triggers the ending of the transcription process
What is the starter codon?
Usual start codon is AUG
