What are start condons?

A start codon (there's only one) is the sequence of three bases on mRNA that initiates translation of mRNA into protein. The start codon sequence is AUG (anticodon UAC) which also carries the amino acid methionine.


When a protein is synthesized what amino acid is always the first amino acid that is positioned during any protein synthesis?

"AUG" actually corresponds to a region of code on mRNA and is NOT an amino acid. The tRNA that has the anticodon 5' CAU 3' and recognizes AUG is a tRNA charged with Methionine. Therefore, methionine is the first amino acid incorporated into a growing polypeptide. Note this is true for only eukaryotes, prokaryotes have N-formyl methionine as their first amino acid.


What is the codon that initiates transcription?

The start codon is AUG, or Methionine(Met)


What amino acid is encoded by the initiation codon AUG?

The amino acid that is encoded by the initiation codon AUG is methionine. It is the only amino acid which is specified by just one codon.


Translation is initiated at which codon sequence?

AUG-Methionine


What is the first amino acids?

Methionine, made from the codon AUG.


What is the code for methionine?

The triplet codon AUG; with, unlike many others, no exceptions.


Which tRNA anticodon will complement this mRNA codon?

3 *** if u want more explanation. basically it is called translation. tRNA decodes the message. If mRNA is AUG, tRNA will attach an anitcodon. Since there is no T in RNA then for A it will be U. For U it will be A and then G will base pair with C. So you will have an anticodon of UAC - which will bring in the amino acid methionine.


How many different mrna correspond to methionine?

Only one mRNA codon codes for Methionine - AUG.


First codon to form an amino acid?

AUG. Methionine is the first and start codon in forming polypeptides.


What would be the Anticodon that would join with the codon AUG?

3' UAC 5'


Is tryptophan the starting codon for mRNA?

No, tryptophan is an amino acid, not a codon. The start codon is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine.
