How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
What does each single codon stand for or code for protein production to stop?
Each messenger-Rna codon stands for one [unique] Amino Acid. ONE mRna - called f-Met Rna - IS [represents] The Start Codon. There are also more than one Stop Codons.
In which molecule would you find an anti-codon?
an anti-codon is a code for an amino acid found on protein
What is a codon and what does each codon stand for?
A codon is made of RNA that is formed from organic molecules that mimic a segment of DNA in order to synthesize a protein. The codon is a set of nucleotide units used to code for different amino acids. The nucleotides in DNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, usually represented by A, G, T, and C. When translated into RNA, that forms codons, thymine is replaced with uracil in a RNA chain. In sets of RNA are sets of many codons. A codon is a set of three nucleotides in RNA that are translated into amino acids to by a ribosome. These sets of amino acids are the building blocks to forming different proteins.
Which codon is the code for the amino acid histidine?
It is CAC and CAU.
What factor changes the type of protein a gene codes for?
well the gene code itself, each codon (and anti-codon) codes for different proteins
What is the definition of an codon?
A codon is a unit of genetic code
The genetic code is degenerate?
Each amino acid can be specified by more than one codon.
What is a triplet of nucleotides that is the code for one amino acid?
I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.
How many amino acids make a codon?
One codon specifies a specific amino acid. However, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, the codon GUU codes for the specific amino acid valine; and the codons GUC, GUA, and GUG also code for valine.
What does each single codon stand for or code for protein production to stop?
Each messenger-Rna codon stands for one [unique] Amino Acid. ONE mRna - called f-Met Rna - IS [represents] The Start Codon. There are also more than one Stop Codons.
If you change a single base in a codon then?
The codon could code for a different animo acids.
What types of RNA have each codon and anticodon?
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.
How codons are used to build protein?
Aside from starting and stopping the translation process each codon triplet is the code for one amino acid. As there are 64 codons the amino acid code is redundant. So, ACU, could be the code for one amino acid in the mRNA coding sequence. Google codon table.
In which molecule would you find an anti-codon?
an anti-codon is a code for an amino acid found on protein
What is in the genetic code?
Three-base triplets called codons. Each codon will be translated into an amino acid during the process of translation.
On what structure is the codon found?
A codon consists out of a 3 nucleotid long DNA piece. That 3 nucleotids code for an amino acid.
