Is a triplet of RNA nucleotides known as a codon?
If you mean messenger RNA (mRNA), then yes, a triplet of mRNA nucleotides is known as a mRNA codon. However, if you mean transfer RNA (tRNA), then the answer is no. A triplet of tRNA nucleotides is known as an anticodon.
How many nucleotides are in one triplet?
Three
What are the three nucleotides that together specify one amino acid?
TRIPLET CODE
What are three nucleotides that together specify one amino acid?
TRIPLET CODE
Does a codon consist of four nucleotides?
No, a codon is a triplet of mRNA bases that specifies a particular amino acid.
What is the smallest number of nucleotides that must be added or subtracted to change the triplet grouping of the genetic message?
1
What is the smallest number of nucleotides that must be added or subtracted to cause a frame- shift in the triplet grouping of the genetic message?
1
What does the triplet code tell us?
The triplet code, also known as the genetic code, tells us how the sequence of nucleotides in DNA corresponds to specific amino acids in protein synthesis. Each set of three nucleotides (codon) encodes for a specific amino acid or serves as a signal for the start or stop of protein synthesis.
Define triplet code?
Triplet code refers to the sequence of three nucleotides (codons) in DNA or RNA that specify a particular amino acid during protein synthesis. Each triplet in the sequence corresponds to a specific amino acid, allowing the translation of genetic information into proteins.
What is a triplet of nucleotides that is the code for one amino acid?
I don't understand your question. mRNA does not have triplets. Did you mean codon? Triplet refers to DNA, codon to mRNA.
Why is the DNA code referred to as a triplet code?
Because for the purpose of translation into aminoacids, each codon is three nucleotides long. In other words peptides which are the building blocks of proteins get made by translating three nucleotides at a time.
Nucleotides are used to make up units of three?
Absolutely Yes, Life Depends Upon It. Nucleotides grouped in 3's are called ' triplet codons '. The four nucleotides, ATC&G, read as triplet codons, determine the order of amino-acids that are sequentially added to a nascent (growing) protein chain. See Proteins and Dna.
