An example of mutation?

The substitution of one triplet code in the DNA that codes for an mRNA that codes for an amino acid that makes up a protein. Sickle cell trait is an example of this. One amino acid substitution in a B chain of hemoglobin and you have an allele that will code for sickle cell trait.


What monomer makes up a polypeptide?

Amino acids are the monomers that make up a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid has an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain, which gives each amino acid its unique properties.

Amino acid. (also its spelt polypeptide)


The DNA base sequence GGG codes for the amino acid proline. could this same base sequence code for a different amino acid?

No, in the genetic code, each three-nucleotide sequence (codon) corresponds to a specific amino acid, and it is specific and unambiguous. GGG will always encode for proline and cannot code for any other amino acid.


How many bases make up the code for one amino acid?

There are 3 nitrogen bases equalling one amino acid and they are called codons. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and in turn protein in science is one of the building blocks of life. The protein molecule has the chromosome strands. On each strand of the chromosome there are shapes in groups of 3 which is the RNA or the Ribonucleic Acid. Where the chromosomes are located, the strands have messengers that travel outside to the ribosomes to be decoded or decyphered. Once the RNA has been decoded by the ribosomes the amino acid is formed. The chronological order of the amino acid being decyphered determines the type of protein. Protein is essential for human growth as it helps with the repair of our muscles amoungst many of it's uses.


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 makes up amino acid?

Amino acids are made up of an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and a side chain (R group) that varies for each amino acid. The side chain is what differentiates one amino acid from another and gives each its unique properties.


How do nucleotides in the RNA molecule code for various amino acids How many nucleotides code for one amino acid?

Each nucleotide is made up of an organic base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. Nucleotides can be arranged in various different orders and that order dictates which amino acid it codes for, three amino acids code for one nucleotide. Is this enough detail?

Where does the amino acid table use the code from?

I'm unsure what your question means, but if I interpreted correctly, the codes on the amino acid table are codons. So they are the codes that would be found on the mRNA. If you are looking up an amino acid on the table, just use the one it says under the codon you want to translate. For example, if the codon is AUG, the amino acid is just methionine. No need to do anything more.
