The genetic code is a series of three bases in a row called a codon. Each codon represents and amino acid. For example, the DNA strand AAA-TCT would code for the amino acids lys-ser. You'll need a codon chart to find codons, which can be found online. Hope this helps ! [=

∙ 15y agoWhen looking at the chart, the first letter in the codon is located on the left hand side of the chart. The second letter is at the top of the chart. Find when these two letter intersect. Then look at the third letter. It is found on the right hand side of the chart, in the box where one and two intersect. That should give you the name of the amino acid that is made when that codon is read during protein synthesis.

What is codon recognition?
Short Answer is: for every triplet codon there is a recognizable anti-triplet codon.
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.

GAU is the codon.

What is the consequence of changing the codon UGA to UGG?
UGA stands for Threonine. UGG stands for Threonine. Nothing would change. This is none as a silent mutation. Source: AP Biology Student and a DNA-Codon to Amino acid chart ^ actually, according to my chart, UGA is a stop codon and UGG stands for TRYPTOPHAN (not threonine), also UGG is the ONLY codon that codes for tryptophan, so it isn't a silent mutation, either. the correct answer is that the peptide will be longer than normal.
What is the amino sequence of the protein that was formed?
In order to answer this question, you must, and prpbably do have the codon sequences of the RNA or DNA, and a chart saying what each codon codes for in terms of amino acids. The mRNA from transcription is what the sheet probably has on it, with each codon contained therin signaling a certain amino acid. If you can post the sequence or something like that, then ill sertainly answer it for you.
What is a Complimentary codon?
A complimentary codon is one that pairs with another codon according to the base pairing rule. For example, the DNA codon ATG is complimentary to the mRNA codon UAC.
Complementary of a codon?
anti-codon.
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.
What is codon recognition?
Short Answer is: for every triplet codon there is a recognizable anti-triplet codon.
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
What is the codon for trytophan?
The codon for trytophan is UGG.
The codon GAU is for?
GAU is the codon.
What codon must every mRNA begin with?
They all begin with AUG, which is the start codon.
The set of three nitrogen bases tha represents an amino acid?
Codon
