Why do you think a start codon is important?
The start codon is the point at which a DNA sequence starts. It is important because a ribosome begins translating a sequence of RNA into amino acids.
What is in DNA a three nucleotide sequence that encodes an amino acid or signifies a start signal or a stop signal?
Codon
Is the condon the sequence of the three nitrogenous bases in the DNA template that signal the beginning of a gene?
That would be a start codon.
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 is the sequence of nucleotides on DNa to with ran polymerase will attach to start transcription?
A promoter is a segment of DNA that helps RNA polymerase recognize the start of a gene.

What is the relationship between codons and anticodons?
A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon
A codon is a triplet base sequence in?
DNA
What determines how many amino acids is in a polypeptide?
When a gene is transcribed there is a sequence of RNA bases that was copied from the DNA sequence. The RNA sequence can be exactly the same as the DNA or can be modified more in higher organisms by removing the introns if any. Three RNA bases is a codon. Each codon signifies an amino acid. There is an initiation codon and a terminal codon. So the amino acid sequence is determined by the sequence (multiple of 3 RNA bases) of codons between the initiation codon and termination codon.

What is the amino acid sequence for a DNA strand with the base sequence DNA-AGGTAGAT?
Serine, Isoleucine. Last codon is incomplete.
What is the three nucleotide?
Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the primary transcript, and its nucleotide sequence determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. A codon in mRNA comprises of three nucleotides that encode a specific amino acid. For example, the codon for glutamine is CAG (Cytosine, Adenine and Guanine). The most common stop and start codon is TAA and AUG respectively.
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
Name for a sequence of DNA bases that code for one protein?
The base sequence of RNA is what to the DNA from which it is transcribed?
complimentary For example, if the DNA codon is GCA, the complimentary mRNA codon will be CGU, according to the base pairing rule.
