What is the function of a release factor?
It binds to the stop codon in the A site in place of a tRNA
Why is UAG codon called amber codon?
The UAG codon is a special kind of codon called a stop codon. There are three types of stop codons: amber, ochre, and opal. UAG is an mRNA codon that is specific for the amber stop codon. The amber codon was named after Harris Bernstein, then a Caltech graduate student, whose last name means "amber" in German. The related link points to an article that discusses the history a bit more.
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.
How does the termination of translation occur?
The termination of protein translation is caused by termination codon. Termination happens when a stop codon is reached, there is no amino acid to be incorporated and the entire assembly releases the newly synthesized polypeptide.
When does translation end?
Translation ends when a stop codon is reached. The stop codons are: * UAA * UAG * UGA

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
Which process stops when a ribosome reaches a stop codon?
When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.

What ends translation in DNA?
a stop codon or anti-codon (same thing)
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.
When does the polypeptide stop growing?
It reaches a stop codon on the mRNA molecule
A point mutation that changes a codon specifying an amino acid into a stop codon is called a?
nonsense mutation
How does the termination of translation occur?
The termination of protein translation is caused by termination codon. Termination happens when a stop codon is reached, there is no amino acid to be incorporated and the entire assembly releases the newly synthesized polypeptide.
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
When does translation end?
Translation ends when a stop codon is reached. The stop codons are: * UAA * UAG * UGA
