What amino acid is codes for by this sequence after the mutation?

Why does mrna mutation affect the amino acid sequence?
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
What programs the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide?
The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide is determined by the sequence of its parent DNA. RNA is transcribed directly from DNA.
What is the sequence of DNA on a chromosome called?
A small section that codes for one amino acid is called a codon. A section that codes for proteins is called a gene.
What is the amino acid acid sequence for auguuucggacguaa?

What is the sequence of bases in DNA that codes for a single amino acid?
A sequence of three nitrogen bases, called a codon, codes for a single amino acid.
The DNA base sequence GGG codes for the amino acid proline. Could this same base sequence code for a different amino acid Why or why not?
Yes because once an amino acid is added to the protein chain, the transfer RNA is released into the cytoplasm and can pick up another amino acid.
What is the three letter sequence that codes for an amino acid?
One letter accounts for one nitrogen base, which is part of a codon, which codes for one amino acid.
How would the amino acid sequence produced by the mutant strand compare to the amino acid sequence produced by series 1?
one amino acid in the sequence would change

Amino acid sequence for blue eyes?
The blue eyes are traits, and hence comes from DNA not amino acid.Correct, but the codons in the DNA sequence are translated to RNA which then codes for a sequence of amino acids to create proteins. So in reality, eye colour is determined by a sequence of amino acids which is dictated by the DNA sequence.
What specific amino acid that codes for part of a protein?
That MAY have happened 3.5 billion years ago ... but not today. DNA carries the codes for amino acid sequences. RNA transfers the codes. Ribosomes link the amino acids into proteins. Amino acids don't code for proteins, genes do. The base sequence in the genes codes for how the amino acids should be sequenced to make proteins.
How does amino acid sequence compare?
An amino acid sequence can be compared by using an electron microscope. The sequence of one acid can be viewed and then directly compared to another.
What are codon and anticodons?
Codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on mRNA. Anti codon = 3 amino acid sequence found on tRNA.The codons are for the traslation of mRNa to an amino acid sequence by using ribosomes.
How do amino acids specify codons?
Nucleutoides.
What is a codon used for?
A codon is a 3-nucleotide sequence which codes for an amino acid. This basically means codons help to form polypeptide changes since each one codes for an amino acid. hope that helps :)
